About the game
WELCOME TO THE ISLAND KINGDOM OF AEOLOS! The ruler of the winds has invited you and other sailors to a contest. Whoever receives the most acclaim on Mount Olympus will be accepted as a beneficiary in the alliance of the gods. You should now build settlements in seven harbors, construct ships, collect sacred crystals and use the “favor of the gods”. When sailing, you depend on the capricious winds of the mighty Aeolos. Like the legendary Odysseus, make sure your bag of wind is always well filled. Use it wisely and keep an eye on the other sailors because you are constantly fighting against time on the Islands of the Winds.”

Questions and answers
AEOLOS supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for AEOLOS is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists AEOLOS for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
AEOLOS has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
AEOLOS belongs to these categories: Fantasy and Mythology. Its main mechanics are Worker Placement. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of AEOLOS are: Arve D. Fühler and Guido Eckhof. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists AEOLOS as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
