Zeus + Poseidon (Acropolis)

This was my first City Building game and still the best I've played. The natural events, Gods, unruly neighbors, and monster attacks always meant you were on your toes. I remember one of my favorite scenarios unfortunately put me on the bad side of Zeus. That meant some creative resource management for 1 game time year. Overall this game is awesome. So happy to be able to play it again.

I remember playing this game when I was a lot younger and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. All I could remember was the introduction was a booming voice "Welcome to Zeus!" and from that I managed to find what it was called and found it was on sale. It's just as good as I remember it, although I'm still equally bad at it, but definitely one of the greatest games I have played in my full 17 years of gaming

Zeus + Poseidon has a great appeal to new and old players. Finding a good city builder today is impossible when you compare them to these older ones. Zeus is an extremely stable version of Caesar. If your buildings catch fire they can be put out before your entire city burns to the ground. Huge tip to someone reading this review. If you build your city one one length of road and put culture (college and podium) on opposite sides of the city they will bring that culture to all of your houses regardless of roadblocks. This is extremely space saving and can let you build magnificently large stable cities!

Oh my oh my, that serie of game if not only a pure bless, but this one comes with monsters and heroes. It's a city builder set in ancient greece, but really the monsters, heroes and gods make this one more unique than the other sets (Pharaoh, emperor, Rome). If you should only get one, get this one.

Zeus: Master Of Olympus was one of my first gaming experience in life. Even today, it stands as one of my favorite games of all time. Its a fantastic city builder with humour and history/mythology in one great package. You are taken through different classic settings from greek lore, kinda like a light history lesson ^^ Its perfect for that cosy afternone when you just want to take it easy and enjoy some great, calm ruling of an ancient civilisation. Love it!
