Description

Get ready to embark on an epic adventure in ILIOS, a game of ancient battles and strategic tile placement. In this abstract strategy game, 2 to 4 players take on the role of warriors, vying for control of the board by deploying tiles with spears and swords. The goal is to surround and capture your opponents' tiles, adding them to your plunder and outmaneuvering your foes. With its easy-to-learn rules and simple gameplay, ILIOS is perfect for players of all skill levels, and its short playtime of 15 to 50 minutes makes it an excellent addition to any game night. As you play, you'll need to balance offensive and defensive strategies, using your tiles to attack and raid your opponents while also defending your own positions. The random draw of tiles adds an element of suspense, keeping you on your toes and forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly. With its fantasy theme and area majority mechanics, ILIOS is a game that will appeal to fans of abstract strategy and tactical gameplay. First published in 2015, ILIOS has been designed by Eliot Hochberg to provide a fun and challenging experience for players, and its unique blend of tile placement and area control makes it a standout in the world of board games.
