Convention Preview News: Khronos Designers Create Utopia
Arnaud Urbon and Ludovic Vialla were one of the surprise success stories at Spiel 06 with their interesting and effective use of time travel tropes in Khronos. Now they’re back with a new game from the same publisher, Editions du Matagot, and the game is called Utopia.
Here’s a brief description of the game:
| The rich king of Utopia invites princes of the greatest known civilizations to come and live in his city, bringing all the diversity of their civilization’s architectural style.
You are one of the King’s ministers and you have to accommodate the princes as they arrive at the city gates. Each step in the construction of the city earns you notoriety. The first player to reach 50 prestige points finishes the game and the player who has most points wins. |
For more details on the game—along with pics of the cards, figures, gameboard, monuments, and wonders—visit the Utopia website, which has text in both English and French. Utopia retails for €40 and is a big box similar to Khronos. Another similarity between the two games is that Rio Grande Games will distribute Utopia after Spiel ends.

Looking forward to the rules. I also offer to help clean up the English translation if you need it. Posted by Jim Cote on Sep 23, 2007 at 06:01 PM | #

The components and artwork are great, the plastic buildings are amazingly detailed. I liked Khronos a lot, I will probably get this! Posted by Surya Van Lierde on Sep 24, 2007 at 04:23 AM | #
