Description
Perikles is a game of strategy and politics set in ancient Greece, where 3 to 5 players take on the roles of noble families vying for control of six city-states. The game is divided into two phases, with the first phase focusing on area control and elections, where players compete to become the leader of each city-state. This is a crucial step, as winning the election in each state allows players to control that state's army. In the second phase, players use cards to move their armies and engage in battles, with the goal of emerging victorious and earning glory. With its unique blend of area control, voting, and military strategy, Perikles offers a engaging and challenging experience that's easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. Designed by Martin Wallace, Perikles is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat for 120 minutes, as you navigate the intricacies of ancient Greek politics and warfare.
