Rome wasn’t built in a day, but Greece can be in 20 minutes

Welcome to your own Greek city, where you are the architect in charge. Using pieces of different colours, you’ll place them in the best spots to create point scoring combinations – except those pieces are in funky shapes, making it a bit of a puzzle in itself. But when you don’t want to build outwards, there’s always upwards!
Let’s delve in a little deeper. Each round, you select a piece from five in the centre. The piece on the far left is free, but you’ll have to pay using precious currency in increasing amounts the further the piece you want is to the right. As with all of this kind, it starts out being “what piece do I want?”, becomes “what piece do I need to get before my opponents do?” and ends at “what pieces do I need to get to stop my opponents doing what they’re doing before they do it?”. Once the mental gymnastics are out of the way, you place the tile in your city.
