Description

Cyclades: The Manticore is an exciting expansion to the Cyclades game series, designed by Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc. This game is all about strategy and outsmarting your opponents, as you navigate the world of ancient city building and epic battles. With 2 to 5 players, you'll be vying for control and influence, using a range of game mechanics like area majority, auctions, dice rolling, and card drafting to get ahead. Whether you're a seasoned board game fan or just looking for a new challenge, Cyclades: The Manticore is a great choice, with normal complexity rules that are easy to pick up. One of the key features of Cyclades: The Manticore is the introduction of the Manticore card, which can be a total game-changer. This powerful card allows you to eliminate an opponent's hero, giving you a major advantage in the battle for dominance. But there's a twist - if a hero is on the same island as Chiron, they're safe from the Manticore's deadly power. This adds a whole new level of strategy to the game, as you'll need to plan carefully to outmaneuver your opponents and protect your own heroes. With a playtime of around 90 minutes, Cyclades: The Manticore is a great way to spend an evening with friends or family, and its ancient and city-building themes will transport you to a world of myth and legend. As an expansion to the original Cyclades game, and also compatible with Cyclades: Hades, Cyclades: The Manticore offers a fresh and exciting experience that builds on the foundations of the base game. Published in 2011, it's a great example of how an expansion can breathe new life into a classic game, and its compatibility with other games in the series means you can mix and match to create the perfect experience for you. So why not give Cyclades: The Manticore a try, and discover a whole new world of strategic gameplay and epic battles? With its unique blend of mechanics and themes, it's sure to be a hit with anyone who loves board games.
