Description

Players build a town in Ancient Greece in friendly competition with each other.  But there is a catch for both architects.  Each building has to be surrounded by appropriate scenery otherwise points are deducted!

Architekton is at its core a tile laying game where you are placing landscape tiles to gain points.

Tiles are laid out in an alternating pattern, kind of like a chess board. Tiles alternate between building tiles on one diagonal and landscape tiles on the other. As soon as a building with your house is surrounded, you get 1 point if all the landscapes match, but you lose 1, 2, or 3 points if 1, 2, or 3 of the surrounding landscapes do not match.

You can remove your house to reduce this loss, but at the end of the game, you get 1 point per house on your longest diagonal group of houses.
