Zagłada Atlantydy is a board game released in 2011 for 2–5 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Marcin Wełnicki and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Auction / Bidding.
In Zagłada Atlantydy ("End of Atlantis"), players try to evacuate as many of their fellow citizens as they can - before the great cataclysm engulfs the island. Ships that are meant to ferry people to safety of the New Land are too small and few and not everybody will be able to leave Atlantis in time. Players must compete for available space, vie for control of the Atlantean Senate, ally themselves with powerful Figures, and use every bit of influence to outsmart, outbid and outthink their opponents. No trick is too cheap in such dire times. Players can resort to sabotage, betrayal, corruption and bribes. They can employ devious telepaths, shapeshifter spies and honor guards. They must hurry though. The end is near and when the third "Doom!" card enters play, the game is over and the winner is decided. Are you brave enough to lead your people to salvation?
Zagłada Atlantydy supports 2–5 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 Zagłada Atlantydy is 90 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 Zagłada Atlantydy 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.
Zagłada Atlantydy has a complexity rating of 2.5 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.
