Athens-Tile | 2 Athens-Chits
Preparation
Place the Athens-Tile next to the Conquest-Tile from base game.
As usual, at the beginning of each round, draw as many Land/Building Tiles as the number of players. But this time, place the first tile drawn directly under the Athens-Tile, and place the others in a row next to the first tile. As with the base game rules, draw and place further tiles next to the Conquest-Tile until a total of 5 Land/Building Tiles are face-up. With 5 players, however, remove the Conquest-Tile from the game and simply place the Athens-Tile above the first tile drawn each round.
Place both Athens-Chits onto the Athens-Tile.
Playing with the Aid of Athens
When it is a player's turn to bid on the face-up Building/Land tiles, he may instead "accept the aid of Athens" and take the tile below the Athens-Tile at no cost, adding it to his civilization. Players never bid for the tile under Athens. Although the tile costs no coins to take, resources are still needed to build a Building Tile taken with the aid of Athens. Placement rules are also still in effect when adding a Land Tile to a player's civilization.
The player is then moved to the end of the turn order (as if he had passed on bidding) and takes one of the Athens-Chits. Afterwards, he receives his regular income.
Note: if a player is overbid at another tile, he may take back his complete bid (without any penalty) in order to accept the aid of Athens instead, if the tile below the Athens-Tile is still available.
A player that has received aid from Athens (shown by having the Athens-Chit) must pass in the following round, unable to buy or bid on a new Building/Land Tile. That player does, however, still receive the 3 coins for passing in addition to his regular income. After passing, he places his Athens-Chit back onto the Athens-Tile.
Scoring
If a player has an Athens-Chit at the end of the game, he loses 2 Inhabitants and 6 Prestige Points.
