Description

In the heart of southeast Asia, a battle between architecture and nature is unfolding in Angkor, a game designed by Knut Happel. Players take on the role of architects, tasked with building magnificent temples and palaces, but they're not alone in their endeavor. The jungle, ever-growing and relentless, poses a constant threat to their creations. As they work to construct their masterpieces, they must also contend with "nature attacks" triggered by their fellow players, adding a social and strategic layer to the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 minutes, Angkor is an accessible and engaging experience for 2 to 4 players. As a territory building game, players use tile placement mechanics to shape the jungle landscape and outmaneuver their opponents. First published in 2005, Angkor has stood the test of time, offering a fun and challenging experience that's perfect for a quick game night with friends. As players navigate the delicate balance between construction and conservation, they'll need to think strategically and make tactical decisions to emerge victorious. Will you be able to outbuild and outsmart your opponents, or will the jungle reclaim your creations? In Angkor, the outcome is never certain, making every game a thrilling adventure.
