Towers of Sifnos

Players act as ancient Greek commanders organizing the island’s defenses after a major invasion. They build beacon towers, recruit soldiers, and invest in mining operations for gold, silver and lead. Turn actions include constructing towers, allocating influence on personal boards to the three minerals, and responding to periodic pirate invasions. Invasions trigger conflict resolution that alters pirate strength or brings allied reinforcements, and scoring focuses on influence and successful defense of the mines. The game ends after a set series of reinforcement waves, and the player with the most victory points from influence, defenses, and mining control wins.
