New Game Release – The Architects of Amytis
La Boite de Jeu and Hachette Boardgames have released The Architects of Amytis, a 2-player city building game, into retail.
Les Architectes d’Amytis (“Architects of Amytis”) is a tile placement game, containing some worker placement and even some “Tic Tac Toe” mechanisms.
During your turn, you’ll have to select a tile among the available ones on the main board, and place one of your Architect Pawn on the corresponding pile. Then, you’ll place the tile on your board wherever you want (on a free spot, or covering another tile to make your city grow higher).
Each tile is colored (4 colors) and represents a building (6 different types). Each building type will score directly when you place the tile. And the colors will allow you to reproduce some of the King’s projects (a colored pattern inside your city) that will grant you points at the end of the game. Furthermore, while placing your architects on the main board, if you manage to create a line, row or diagonal of 3, you’ll be granted a King’s favor: another type of score, triggered at the end of the game.
The Architects of Amytis is for two players, ages ten and up, and plays in thirty minutes. It retails for $24.99.
La Boite de Jeu also previously released In the Palm of Your Hand (see “In the Palm of Your Hand board game“).
