Description

Get ready to take on the role of Leonidas, the fearless Spartan commander, in Go Tell the Spartans, a solitaire board game that puts you in charge of the Greek forces against the invading Persian army. Set in 480 B.C., this game simulates the intense three-day battle for the pass at Thermopylae, where you'll need to strategically deploy your units to hold off the overwhelming enemy forces. With a large 23" by 34" mapsheet and 240 die-cut counters, you'll feel like you're right in the midst of the action, making key decisions to determine the fate of the battle. As you play, you'll need to manage your resources carefully, using dice rolling and movement points to outmaneuver the Persians, while also keeping a close eye on morale and missile fire priority. The game's grid-based battlefield, which takes up a portion of the mapsheet, adds an extra layer of complexity, as you'll need to carefully consider unit deployment to maximize your chances of success. With a playtime of 240 minutes, Go Tell the Spartans is a game that will challenge and engage you, requiring strategic thinking and tactical prowess to emerge victorious. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new challenge, this game is sure to deliver, with its unique blend of simulation and solo gameplay.
