10.0/10
My favorite game from the old days. Bidding, a little area control, and various paths to victory to make the most of the bids you win. I really want the new kickstarter remake with all the bells and whistles.

Description
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 worshippers.

Juego de subasta super divertido, combinado con la estrategia se puede volver de lo mas interesante.
10.0/10
Super jeu !! Mon préféré de tous les temps, celui qui m'a fait replongé dans les jeux modernes ;) Stratégique, rejouabilité ++ car on connaît les monstres, plusieurs façons d'accéder à la victoire et des retournements de situations possibles jusqu'au dernier tour... J'adore !
10.0/10
One of the great board games of all time. It’s got tension, bold decisions, backstabbing, moments that create forever memories. It’s got everything.
