At the heart of the Mediterranean, rival cities seek wealth and glory. The most talented architects in ancient Greece stand ready to achieve this goal. Build housing, temples, markets, gardens and barracks, so you can grow your city and ensure it triumphs over the others. Raise its prestige with harmonious planning that conforms to specific rules, and enhance it by building plazas. Stone is an essential resource, so make sure you do not neglect it. You’ll need enough quarries so you can build higher up, making your city stretch towards the sky.

Reviews
Weight: Light to medium
Mechanisms: Tile drafting and placement, 3D tile placement, variable scoring conditions.
Thoughts: Lighter than I expected, but plays quickly at two players. Balancing scoring conditions creates a satisfying puzzle, although you can’t optimise everything. The chunky tiles feel great, and building upwards adds another dimension. A point salad with satisfying combos, though I was hoping for more mega-combos. Quick, clever and satisfying without overstaying its welcome.
