Hellenes: Campaigns of the Peloponnesian War is a 2-player game that drops you into the midst of ancient Greece's most infamous conflict. Designed by Craig Besinque, this game lets you take on the role of either Sparta, the dominant land power, or Athens, the master of the seas. As you navigate the complexities of war, you'll need to manage your resources, make strategic decisions, and outmaneuver your opponent to emerge victorious. With a playtime of around 240 minutes, Hellenes offers a deep and immersive gaming experience that's perfect for fans of wargames and ancient history. The game features a range of mechanics, including area movement, campaign and battle cards, and dice rolling, which combine to create a challenging and engaging experience. As you vie for control of the Greek city-states and barbarian tribes, you'll need to balance short-term gains with long-term strategy, all while dealing with the unpredictability of war and the whims of fate.
