Athos (1993)

About this game

Monks must climb Athos Mountain to reach the monastery, moving over difficult terrain. You may move your monks or draw and place tiles, which block paths with landslides. You also have 2 Athos pieces, which allow you to move a tile and lock another. Reaching the monastery gives you additional moves.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
