Description

In Stratopolis, a game of abstract strategy, players compete to build the most impressive structure, balancing width and height to outdo their opponent. With a simple set of rules to learn, this 2012 game designed by Annick Lobet is easy to pick up, but challenging to master. Each player starts with 20 L-shaped tiles, featuring different combinations of green, red, and neutral squares, which they take turns adding to the growing structure. The key to success lies in strategically placing tiles to create a strong foundation, while also building upwards to maximize your score. As the game unfolds, players must think carefully about where to place each tile, taking into account the existing structure and the rules of placement. With two possible ways to add tiles - either adjacent to the existing structure or on top of other tiles - players must weigh their options and plan ahead. The game may be short, lasting just 10 to 20 minutes, but it requires focus and strategic thinking to emerge victorious. With its unique blend of area majority and layering mechanics, Stratopolis offers a fun and engaging challenge for two players, making it an excellent choice for a quick but intense gaming session.
