In the Cyclades archipelago, off the shores of a divided Greece, players develop their cities and compete for supremacy under the watchful gaze of the gods. In Cyclades: Legendary Edition, designers have reworked the Cyclades base game and its many expansions to make gameplay more dynamic and fluid. The game features a strategic bidding system that defines the actions available to each player on their turn. You must balance your finances to optimize the various actions provided by the different gods, with each player gaining the support of only one god each turn. The game features a shorter and more dynamic bidding phase than the original Cyclades thanks to a new exponential bidding scale. Six gods are available instead of the five, increasing the variety of actions available. Players now use landscape tiles to assemble the modular game board during set-up, allowing for ever-changing maps and game strategies. New creatures and heroes are available in the base game, offering new strategic opportunities to build metropolises and gain decisive advantages on the battlefield. Your goal is to be the first to control three metropolises. Cyclades: Legendary Edition features three game configurations: "Classic" mode for 3-5 players in which each player defends their own interests. "Team" mode for 4 or 6 players in which you play in teams of two, co-operating with one another and competing against others. An enhanced and refined two-player mode.

Looks interesting, but the art is very questionable.

Priority = A. Backed on Kickstarter (June-29-2023). Had to back it as it's my favorite multi-player board game and the changes to game-play outlined by Bruno all seem to be great (taking the best parts of the original Cyclades and the Hades and Titans expansions).

Want to get a copy of the Ultimate Edition and the metal coins. Hoping Open Sesame Games offers it for sale directly after fulfillment at some point.

A new version from Matagot I would have not considered..., because of their "low and cheap components" in Kickstarters... (cards as thin as you could look through...) but from a different publisher..., I'll have a look... (Hopefully this is not a publisher trick..., because Matagot knows they lost a lot of followers... and publishing this under a "new" label...! Will definitely check before backing a cent...)
