What is Cyclades: Legendary Edition
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.

What the community says about Cyclades: Legendary Edition
Wow! Better than original with those little tweaks. Nice one the addition of heroes and Hera, so much fun with 5 players, quick game, lot of tension!
I think I prefer the 1st edition as it felt more strategic, this one feels much more chaotic given all the options players have now to move. Also, I dislike what they did with ships in this game, they dont feel as useful as in the original since you can just place 1 and you already reached another island that has several areas within, in the original you had to create chain connections between the islands and it feels like Poseidon had more importance unlike now, Hera feels kinda OP in this one. There are also much more building spots on this one and Metropolises just take 1 building space w
