Akros

About this board game

Akros is an asymmetrical board game for two players, playable in about 30 minutes, in which titanic creatures shape a new world through hexagon-tile placement.

In the beginning, there was Chaos: sluggish, shapeless, and ever-changing. Seeking to escape the nothingness around it, Chaos divided its primordial essence into five elements, creating shards of self-conscious existence. In Akros, each player takes the role of one of these titanic beings during the genesis of the world.

Using your elemental servants, you will shape the scenery of a small new world and compete to control its regions. The game combines majorities and area control in an asymmetrical contest, making every placement part of a larger struggle for influence.

• Designed specifically for two players
• Asymmetrical gameplay featuring titanic creatures
• Hexagon-tile placement in a developing world
• Majority and area-control competition across three environment types

As the world takes shape, your servants contest the various regions on the board. At the end of the game, each player adds the value of all regions controlled by their servants to determine who has dominion over each environment.

The player who claims dominion over the majority of the three environment types earns the merit of creation. With its focused two-player format and evocative genesis theme, Akros presents a direct challenge to shape the landscape, build control, and overcome your rival before the new world is complete.
