Description

In Alexander the Great, 2 to 5 players embark on a journey to conquer provinces and build cities and temples, following in the footsteps of the legendary leader. The game is played over 75 minutes, with each turn allowing players to move their armies, build structures, and score points. With a normal level of complexity, this game is accessible to those familiar with board games, and its lack of necessary in-game text makes it language-independent. Players must strategically distribute their 15 wooden cubes each round to control turn order, army size, temple building, and city building. The game is a mix of planning, bluffing, and tactics, as players compete for majorities in provinces, temples, and cities. With a unique cube-based mechanic, players must balance their actions to maximize their points, making for a thrilling and interactive experience.
