Akropolis: Athena
Players are architects in the Ancient Mediterranean competing to build prestigious cities and earn the favor of Athena. Players complete Construction cards by arranging building tiles in specific layouts within their city grids, acquiring Statue of Athena parts and Mini-tiles as rewards. The expansion layers these objectives onto the base game: each Construction card can be completed once per player, requiring careful tile placement and resource management to maximize points and benefits. The game ends when the Construction Site is nearly depleted; final scoring follows the base rules with additional points for completed Statue of Athena parts and Stone scoring, adding new strategic choices during city-building.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do I have to complete any Construction cards?
No. Completing them is optional, and you can complete a card on a later turn as long as its required layout is still visible in your city. (p. 4)
Can I complete the same Construction card more than once?
No. Each player can complete each of the four Construction cards only once. (p. 4)
What do I get when I complete a Construction card?
Take the Athena statue part shown above that card, then choose one of its Mini-tiles and immediately place it anywhere in your city, on any level. If it covers a Quarry, take a Stone as usual. (p. 5)
Do the Mini-tiles under a completed card get replaced? Can I put one on top of another?
No: tiles are not replaced, and you cannot place a Mini-tile on top of another Mini-tile. (p. 5)
Can I complete more than one Construction card in a turn?
Yes. After playing a tile, if your city shows layouts for multiple cards, choose the order and resolve each card separately, placing one Mini-tile for each. (p. 5)
Do tile levels matter for the layouts, and what happens to my Stones if I complete a statue?
For a bird’s-eye-view card, levels do not matter; for a 3D-view card, the levels may differ from the illustration as long as the stated condition is met. If you complete a statue, each Stone you have is worth 5 points instead of 1 at the end. (p. 7)
