  1. 8 out of 10

    Great, great game. Can be off-putting to some people because it looks like a dudes-on-a-map wargame, but it isn't, not really. It's much simpler than it looks, as which God you win the favor of in the bidding phase STRONGLY limits what you can do in the action phase. Lots of different routes to victory, some nice catch-up mechanics, and really stunning graphical design overall. You can tell alot of care went into the game, from putting art where it'll never even be seen during the game, to using unique minatures for the forces of each player.

    [i]2018/09/06 - 1 play 4p[/i] Early days, but great dudes on a map game, so fast that it fits in an workday game night. The auctions inject a lot of tension, love that it's not based on victory points.

    [5 plays+] Really nice and fast strategy game, great mechanics and ideas, superb components. I love the way auction is implemented here (generally hate it). Usually very tense.

Be the first to review “Cyclades”

In this latest collaboration between Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc, players must buy the favor of the gods in their race to be the first player to build two cities in the Ancient Greek island group known as the Cyclades.

Victory requires respect for all the gods – players cannot afford to sacrifice to only one god, but must pay homage to each of five gods in turn. Each turn, the players bid for the favors of the gods, as only one player can have the favor of each god per turn – and each player is also limited to the favor of a single god per turn.

Ares allows the movement of player armies and the building of Fortresses.
Poseidon allows players to move their navies and build Ports.
Zeus allows his followers to hire priests and build temples.
Athena provides her worshipers with philosophers and universities.
Apollo increases the income of his worshipers.
