The King of Babylon, in a grand gesture of love- or maybe just trying to win Husband of the Year- decides to gift his wife, Queen Amytis, something truly breathtaking: the most magnificent city the world has ever seen. He asks two of the best Architects in the world to design the city, and only the very best will be built. It is now up to you to create the best design.
Architects of Amytis is a Tile placement game containing worker placement and even "Tic Tac Toe" mechanisms.
During your turn, you will have to select a tile among the available ones on the main board, and place one of your Architect Pawns on the corresponding pile.
Then, you will 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 will be granted a King's favor: another type of score, triggered at the end of the game.
Buildings all have two types of scoring, so you can play different kinds of games one after the other.
Which strategy will you choose to create the most marvelous city of the World?
One of you will probably go down in history as the creator of this dazzling wonder... and the other? Well, probably back to designing barns.
