About Aeolis, from BoardGameGeek:
Aeolis is a fully cooperative game for 1-7 players. It is mainly a kingdom building game with strong civ aspects and lots of detailed, high quality miniatures.
Delve deep into rich lore in an alternative Ancient Greek setting. Explore the Matriarchal society ruled by a Queen where the only positions of power held by men are those in the military, while women fortify their reign through the divine power of the Priestesses or the arcane of the Magi witches.
When playing, you can select your role. Play as the Queen of the Acropolis and build your kingdom. Control the wealth and manipulate the economy as the Merchant of the Agora. Discover new technologies as the Philosopher of the Academy. Protect the populace with the Hoplites of the Arena. Draw power from the Gods by sacrificing your Bloodthralls as the Priestess of the Temple. Cast powerful and dangerous spells as the Magi of the Oracle. Rule the seas with your captains and bring to your kingdom valuable loot!
To be victorious in Aeolis, you need to protect your kingdom from enemy invasions by countering raiding and plundering enemies, natural disasters and riots. There are different difficulty levels so that you can play either a quick or marathon game. There are many Heroic Achievements if you can succeed at more than simple survival. Most of all, there are a lot of replayable deep lore scenarios to experience the word of Aeolis from different perspectives!
Will you manage to work as a team and help your kingdom survive in the world of Aeolis?
