The King of Babylon seeks a gift worthy of legend. For Queen Amytis he desires the most beautiful city ever created. In Architects of Amytis two master architects compete to design a city of unmatched splendor where every choice shapes the skyline and determines whose vision will stand the test of time.
Architects of Amytis is a refined tile placement game that blends worker placement with a subtle Tic Tac Toe style mechanic. On your turn you select a tile from the central board and place one of your architect pawns on the corresponding stack. You then add the tile to your personal city either on an empty space or on top of another tile allowing your city to grow vertically.
Each building tile has a color and a type and scores in two different ways. First you gain points immediately when placing the tile. Second the colors help you recreate the King’s projects specific color patterns within your city that score points at the end of the game. In addition by cleverly placing your architects on the main board you can earn the King’s favor. Creating a row column or diagonal of three architects grants a royal favor which is also scored at the end of the game.
Architects of Amytis stands out through its elegant rules quick turns and meaningful decisions. Players must constantly balance immediate rewards with long term planning and precise timing. Designed especially for two players it offers a tense strategic duel with high replay value and a strong thematic presence.
Design a city worthy of legend and claim your place as the greatest architect of Babylon.
