Akrotiri

Players act as Classical Greek explorers charting the Aegean and locating long-buried temples using secret map fragments. The game combines tile placement, hand management, and pickup-and-delivery: players lay land tiles to reconstruct map patterns, plan sea routes, and ship island resources back to a home island to finance expeditions. Excavation of temples scores points, with more remote or harder-to-match sites yielding greater value. Hidden objective cards and competing route planning create uncertainty about who is leading until scoring at the end.

    My rating is based on a 3 player play. It feels very lucky. What tile the other player(s) place, it may help you or not. And I won, and I don't know why, it felt like I'm going to end last. And for me that's not a good sign, too random. And at the beginning you are overwhelmed where you can place a temple. And at the end it almost doesn't matter because you can fulfill everything everywhere.
