Description
Successors is a game of ancient warfare where 3 to 4 players take on the roles of generals vying for control of Alexander the Great's empire. Published in 1997 and designed by Richard H. Berg, this game builds upon the successful card driven war game systems of its predecessors, adding a new layer of complexity with its multi-player dimension. The game's point to point movement system and large, colorful counters make for an engaging and immersive experience. As players navigate the civil war within the Hellenistic sphere of the middle east, they'll use a deck of cards to add a refreshing twist to traditional war game mechanics. With a playtime of 60 to 240 minutes, Successors offers a substantial and challenging experience for fans of ancient warfare and strategy. The game's normal complexity level makes it accessible to those familiar with board games, allowing players to dive right into the action and compete for dominance.
