Our take on First Days of Atlantis
The relaxed, focused city-building format trades away broader management depth. Building placement and neighboring structures shape income, but the design centers on quick expansion, gold collection, card unlocks, and high scores rather than a larger administrative system.
What is First Days of Atlantis?
Create settlements across vividly colored Mediterranean islands from antiquity by choosing structures from a card pool and positioning them on a map.
Every placement yields gold from the settlement, with adjacent buildings influencing the income produced. Savings reveal more cards and support either chasing a personal high score or shaping a modest village. Construction can proceed quickly without resource delays, or at a relaxed pace because the game imposes no timer. Procedurally created islands change the available layouts and provide fresh challenges during successive playthroughs.
