Welcome to Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean! You are about to enter an exciting, competitive world filled with aggressive trading, perilous voyages, and the construction of grand monuments. Parthenon is a game of commerce for 3 - 6 players set in the islands of theAegean Sea. The time is 600 B.C., and mainland Greece stands on the threshold of glory. TheAegean 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. At the start of the game, eachplayer receives an Island Card that details the types of villages he begins with, as well as thevillages and workshops his island is capable of producing. At the pinnacle of each islandstands the Acropolis, the central high place where advanced structures such as fortresses,shrines, and academies are built. The Acropolis is also the site of two Great Wonders whichmark the ultimate achievement for any island capable of building them.
The game takes place over the course of three years, each consisting of four separate turns, orseasons. Each season is broken up into ten phases, each of which is played simultaneously byall the players. Once the last season of the third year iscomplete, the game ends. The player who has built the moststructures on his or her island wins the game!
The object of the game is to be the first player to complete allof the Structures on his Island (including the two GreatWonders). If no player finishes building his Island's Structuresby the end of the third Year, the Island with the mostStructures wins the game!
"Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean" immerses you in an exciting, competitive world filled with aggressive trading, perilous voyages, and the construction of grand monuments. "Parthenon" 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.
In "Parthenon," 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!
