Byzantium Reborn

Description

Byzantium Reborn is a game of strategy and simulation that drops you into the midst of the Greek-Turkish War of 1920-22, a pivotal moment in history when two nations clashed over their visions of national rebirth. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either the Kingdom of Greece or the insurgent nationalist forces of Mustapha Kemal, navigating the complex web of alliances, military formations, and territorial control that defined this brutal conflict. With a map of Anatolia as your battleground and 280 counters representing various military units, you'll need to balance area movement, dice rolling, and variable player powers to outmaneuver your opponent and shape the modern Near East. As you delve into the game, you'll experience the intricate dance of politics and war that characterized this period, with the fate of cities like Smyrna hanging in the balance. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to fans of board games, and its 240-minute playtime ensures a deeply immersive experience. Designed by Wes Erni and Ben Madison, Byzantium Reborn is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Great Idea, a vision of national rebirth that drove both Greece and Turkey to pursue their destinies in the aftermath of World War I. Will you guide Greece to regional dominance or usher in a new era of Turkish nationalism? The choice is yours in this gripping game of simulation and strategy.
