Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun! 

Akropolis by Gigamic and Hachette BoardGames Coming Soon


Hachette Games and Gigamic announced the upcoming tile placement game Akropolis will be coming to the US on July 1st 2022.

"Construct the most prestigious Akropolis and develop cohesive districts for your citizens. As you create new buildings, you will expand your city - either spreading out or building up. The higher your stacks of tiles, the more valuable the buildings! Just make sure you don't run out of stone; it's a finite and valuable resource for every architect!"

Gameplay Overview

Take on the role of an architect and build your own akropolis in ancient Greece. Try to construct districts of similar buildings and stack them high to increase their value. Add plazas as multipliers for even more points!

Each turn, choose an available tile and add it to your city. The further down the construction site the tile is, the more stone you'll need to pay to take it. Immediately add the tile to your city, either expanding outward or stacking higher.

Once all tiles have been drafted and placed, score your zones of the same type of buildings according to their unique rules. Matching plazas will multiply their points!

Game Info

  • Players 2-4 / Ages 8+ / Playtime 30 min
  • Designer: Jules Messaud
  • Mechanics: Tile placement/stacking, pattern building, open drafting

Highlights

  • Bring the city to life by placing and stacking over 60 plastic tiles to create the most cohesive districts possible!
  • Flex your architect skills and create districts of the same type of buildings, each with different effects and scoring conditions!
  • Easy-to-learn rules with engaging choices ensure enjoyable gameplay for families and gamers!
  • Use the optional advanced variant to challenge players. It adds additional placement rules for another layer of strategy!
