In Olympus, you take on the role of a leader of an Ancient Greek city-state, like Athens or Sparta, competing to become the dominant power of the Peloponnese. The game combines deterministic strategy (no luck) with worker placement and resource management mechanics. Each player has three priests to worship the gods of Olympus, such as Zeus or Athena, who grant benefits like increased culture, resources, or even military attacks against rivals. The strategy lies in choosing which gods to worship first and when to follow opponents' actions for smaller advantages. With 45 different buildings to construct, including 12 unique ones, there are multiple paths to victory, from peaceful development to more aggressive tactics like pillaging enemy cities or invoking plagues. The game ends when four awards (for reaching maximum values in attributes like culture or population) are claimed, and the player with the most developed city wins. Get ready for a battle of strategy, diplomacy, and a bit of divine mischief!
