Olympia costs $2.50 per turn. Olympia is far superior to Atlantis. You can
see that they have the same basic roots, but Olympia has been expanded and
improved tremendously over Atlantis. I found started playing Atlantis,
but got bored after about 10 turns, there really isn't that much to do!
Olympia has been completely re-designed in many respects and extensively
playtested to achieve a fairly good balance in the Economic areas. The areas
of skills and Magic have really been expanded also.
Well, I could go on, but instead, I suggest you get a copy of the rules
and check it out. They are available from ftp.erg.sri.com in /pub/pbm/olympia.
Cheers,
Brent.
