Agora (2013)

About this game

The Agora was the central place for trading, bargaining, and gatherings in a city (that called a polis) in ancient Greece. Moreover, it was the place where the court was held. In Agora the players occupy themselves in this busy place by taking actions, trying to get resources to build monuments, and improving their rhetorical skills to gain the upper hand on opponents and receive court verdicts in their favor. The player with the highest total value of these achievements wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
