Winner of Origins 2006 Best Boardgame of the Year
Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean immerses you in
an exciting, competitive world filled with aggressive trading, perilous
voyages, and the construction of grand monuments. It is a game of
commerce for 3-6 players set in the islands of the Aegean Sea. The
time is 600 B.C. and mainland Greece stands on the threshold of
glory. The Aegean Islands now attempt to share in that glory and
to thrive in an increasingly profitable (and dangerous) world.
Each player represents a different island in the Aegean Sea populated
by two villages and a fleet of trading ships. Each island's villages
produce commodities which are either traded with the other islands
or sent abroad across the Mediterranean Sea. Fleets journeying to
distant lands face the deadliest hazards, but also obtain the greatest
rewards.
Each player strives to develop his island by building additional
villages, workshops, and advanced structures such as fortresses,
shrines, and academies. The first player to complete all of the
structures on his or her island, including two Great Wonders, wins
the game!
