Read the full game description
Akros is an asymmetric abstract duel about claiming credit for the creation of a new world. Players place hexagonal terrain onto matching spaces, then move servants according to the powers of their chosen titan. Jinn is quick and elusive, while Ifrit is slower but can make nearby territory unassailable. Majorities across the three environment types determine the outcome, so every tile simultaneously expands the board, opens movement, and changes the value of contested regions.
