Cyclades is an epic, tense and lively game that is easy to understand. Each player leads their faction to impose their hegemony on the Cyclades isles in the time of a fantasy mythological Greece. Players will place bets to gain the gods favors, hire creatures and heroes to achieve their goals. Thanks to a smooth and intuitive gameplay, epic actions follow one another at a fast pace. Simple rules and a clear iconography allow for a quick immersion in the game for beginners. Fans of the first edition of Cyclades will rediscover this legendary game with brand new eyes thanks to gameplay modifications and numerous improvements added by its two successful authors.

More than just an aesthetic facelift, Cyclades: Legendary Edition takes the original game to a whole new level. The Director's cut by Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc combines the original game and its many expansions into a renewed, more epic, more thrilling gaming experience through an updated gameplay.

Among the major changes:

  • 3 game configurations: A "Classic" mode for 3 to 5 players in which each player defends their own interests. A "Teamplay" mode for 4 or 6 players, offering the possibility to play as teams of 2, mixing cooperation between teammates and confrontation against opponents. An enhanced and improved "2-players" mode

  • A modular game board is now built with landscape tiles assembled by the players during the setup of the game, allowing for everchanging maps and game strategies, bringing a constantly renewed gaming experience.

  • 6 gods instead of the 5 originals are now available, increasing players variety of actions.

  • New free mandatory construction actions for the gods that considerably speed up the overall game time and the interaction between players.

  • Mercenaries, a new unit that comes with the new goddess: Hera, who enforces your troops during battles.

  • New Creatures and Heroes are now available in the base game and have been reworked to offer new strategic opportunities in building metropolises and gaining decisive advantages on the battlefield.

  • Shorter and more dynamic bidding phases thanks to a new exponential bidding scale.
