Akrotiri

In Akrotiri, players take on the roles of explorers charting the Aegean Sea in search of lost temples. Each player starts with a ship and a handful of location cards hinting at the whereabouts of these sacred sites. Through careful navigation and strategic map tile placement, players expand the modular board, revealing the islands and landmarks that match their location cards.

The core gameplay loop revolves around spending action points to move your ship, place tiles, and excavate temples once their locations are discovered. Successfully excavating temples not only earns victory points but also opens up new opportunities for exploration and further point scoring. The player who most effectively combines exploration, network building, and temple excavation emerges as the winner, proving themselves the most astute explorer of Akrotiri.
