All of Athens has turned out for the Dionysia, a grand theatrical festival to honor the god Dionysus. Impress the crowds with your well-crafted drama to win the playwriting competition as well as the favor of the gods!
Draft and craft a better drama than your opponent to secure the favor of the gods at this year’s Dionysia. As you take a scene from the central stage and add it to your developing play, you’ll need to decide whether to start a new act (to a max of 3) or add it to the top/bottom of an existing act. Create specific scoring patterns of dramatic elements through careful arrangement of your scenes while taking advantage of powerful effects available through each act’s key (topmost) scene. After each play has 3 acts of 3 scenes each, players score each act based on its key scene and pattern. Whoever has the most points is favored by the gods and wins the playwriting competition!

Perfect wallet games on really nice, sturdy cards. I’ve enjoyed all of the ButtonShy games I’ve played and am happy to add this to my collection. I’m happy to support a small business!!

Great game for two Greek Drama lovers. Quality cards, rules are simple but gameplay is not simplistic. Easy to get a few games in for two travellers. Too bad the expansion and the solo cards were not available at the time of purchase.
