At the top of Mount Olympus, hidden above the clouds, lies Mytikas. Here the gods reign supreme, watching over and governing the lives of the mortals below. You are builders who wish to uncover the mystery of Olympus and draw nearer to the divine light. You must therefore construct prosperous cities and magnificent temples at different levels on the mountain by skillfully moving your resources closer to the summit. Gaining the favor of the gods at just the right moment will help you complete your task, but there is limited space on the mountain... In Mytikas, you play as builders who must construct cities and temples on Mount Olympus. The higher up you construct them, the more prestige you gain. You need to produce resources, then move them up the levels of Mount Olympus. When you make offerings to the gods, you gain their favor and benefit from their special abilities. At the end of the game, you calculate your points based on where your buildings are constructed, as well as from any deity cards you control. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins and earns the title of Chief Builder for the Gods. Starting with the first player, take turns clockwise until one of the following 3 conditions are met, which all immediately trigger the end of the game: 3 out of 4 levels are complete on Mount Olympus, One of the players takes the last Lock token, One of the players has built all their constructions. —description from publisher
