Akropolis Athena is an expansion of the Akropolis base game, set in the Ancient Mediterranean where architects compete to build prestigious cities. The theme revolves around gaining the favor of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and artisans, to earn riches and honor.
In this game, players must use their skills to complete specific Construction cards by building layouts within their cities that match the cards. As players complete these cards, they can acquire parts of the Statue of Athena and gain Mini-tiles to enhance their cities. The goal is to strategically build your city while completing these Construction cards to gain additional points and advantages.
The game integrates the core rules of the AKROPOLIS base game with the added challenge of completing Construction cards. Each architect can complete each Construction card only once and must manage their resources and placements carefully to maximize their points.
The game concludes when there is only one tile left in the Construction Site and all the stacks have been used. Points are counted as usual, but players who have completed the Statue of Athena gain extra points for their Stones, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. The ultimate goal is to have the most prestigious city by the end of the game, as determined by the accumulated points.

Your brother's missing! Your only lead? A letter he sent you from the Mont-Blanc, in which he talks about his research and a Nazi treasure lost 50 years ago. Now you're on the summit of Europe to investigate. In order to find him, explore the mysteries that have lain dormant up there for so many years.
Backstories is a cooperative adventure game working the same way as a "point & click". Thanks to a clever system of perforated cards, reveal the consequences of your choices. Choose an action (perforated) card (Search, Talk, Explore, etc.), place it on the back of a location card, and have a look at the result of your choice!
Several endings are possible: your choices, YOUR adventure!
Will you be ready to face the consequences of all the choices you make?
Are you up for this adventure?
Your missing brother is counting on you!
