Athens Origins Boardgame

The city of Attica stands at the heart of a divine rivalry. Its people are ready to choose a patron, but the choice has not yet been made.

Poseidon, god of the sea, has struck the earth with his trident. From the ground surged a fountain, fierce and eternal, a promise of power upon the waves and dominion across distant shores. Yet the water is salt, as wild and untamed as the god who offers it.

Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, pressed her spear into the soil. From it sprang the olive tree, gift of nourishment, oil, and enduring peace. A symbol of prosperity that could outlast generations, it offers not only sustenance but strategy and resilience.

The people stand divided, voices rising, uncertain which gift to crown. The gods themselves do not retreat, for neither will surrender the city. And so the contest continues. The Acropolis becomes the battleground of influence, and the citizens of Athens must decide:

Will they follow Poseidon’s might, or Athena’s wisdom?

Win over the vote of the people in this exciting duel as Poseidon or Athena! All rules are added in the rulebook.

All components of the board game can be taken off the playfield and stored in the container for easy storage. 

There are 3 different stages included in the print profile, each one matches with a certain relic (vase / lyre / scale). 

The vase is placed on the stage with a pin, the scale is placed on the stage with a round hole, and the lyre corresponds to the square hole.

The attributes of the statues print seperatly for a better quality. 

The spear of Athena can be inserted into the slot on the top hand, the Trident is placed in a similar way in Poseidon's hand. Place the handle of the shield in the left hand slot, no glue necessary.

To setup the game board, the stages, pillars and statues are placed on the corresponding pins. One pillar slides on to each yellow pin. The blue pins are for the stages, and the two marked in red correspond to the statues. All components can be placed easliy onto the pins. The connections are made to make sure all the components are easy to remove and setup, they are not meant to stick to the board. If you want them to stick, you can glue them together for a more rigid and permanent bond.

All components in the print profile are tested on printability. To get the best results, make sure to use a brim on components with a very small contact surface with the build plate (spear, scale). And make sure to use a clean and level build plate with dry filament to print the Lyre.
