Akropolis

1-4 players 20-30 min 7.4 Board Game Geek Rating

Ancient Greek architects compete to construct the greatest city by strategically placing building tiles. Players select tiles from a shared construction site and arrange them to create districts with housing, temples, markets, and other structures. Victory comes through maximizing district values by building vertically using stone quarries, creating harmonious layouts that follow specific placement rules, and earning prestige points.

Get Ready

Setup the game with these step-by-step instructions before diving into your turn.

Select tiles by player count

Take City tiles matching your player count using the backs of tiles as reference (4 players: 2+/3+/4; 3 players: 2+/3+; 2 players: 2+)

Create tile stacks

Form 11 equal stacks of tiles placed face down (2 players: 3 tiles/stack; 3 players: 4 tiles/stack; 4 players: 5 tiles/stack)

Form the Construction Site

Place remaining tiles face up in a line in the center of the table

Distribute starting tiles

Each player (Architect) takes one starting tile and places it in front of them

Determine first player

The Architect who most recently climbed a hill takes the Chief Architect marker

Distribute starting Stones

Working clockwise from the first player, each Architect takes Stones

Create Stone reserve

Place remaining Stones nearby as a common supply

On Your Turn

What you can do during your turn.

Take a tile from Construction Site

Choose any tile from the line and pay 1 Stone for each tile that precedes it (first tile is free)

Add tile to your City

Place the selected tile following placement rules

Gain Stones from Quarries

When you cover a Quarry with another tile, take 1 Stone from the reserve

Build Districts strategically

Each district type has specific scoring conditions

Consider building height

Districts on higher levels score more points (level 1 = 1 point, level 2 = 2 points, etc.)

Collect Plazas for multipliers

Plazas multiply points for matching District types; stars are cumulative across multiple Plazas

Resupply Construction Site

When only one tile remains, place it first, then add tiles from one stack face up; pass Chief Architect marker to the left
