Imagine you are one of the most renowned architects of the ancient world, tasked with the most ambitious mission of your career: designing the most stunning city ever created for Queen Amytis. The King of Babylon isn't looking for something ordinary; he wants perfection. The catch? He has hired two architects, but only the best design will actually be built. This is where you come in, fighting to prove your design is the superior one.

In terms of gameplay, you'll be placing tiles on your personal board, but with an interesting twist: you don't just fill spaces; you can stack tiles to make your city grow vertically. The dynamics blend space management with worker placement. To secure the tile you want, you must place your Architect pawn on the corresponding pile on the main board.

Scoring is where the strategy truly shines. Each building offers two ways to score: immediate points, which happen the moment the tile is placed, and long-term points. The colors of the tiles are crucial, as you need to reproduce specific patterns requested by the King to secure generous bonuses at the end of the game.

But that's not all! The game also adds a dash of 'Tic-Tac-Toe'. If you manage to align your architects in rows, columns, or diagonals on the main board, you'll earn the King's favor, granting you extra points at the end of the match. With this mix of spatial planning, color management, and the fight for positioning, every decision counts. Will you focus on immediate gains or build the perfect strategy for the final bonuses? The choice is yours, but remember: Queen Amytis expects nothing less than perfection!
