Iliad
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
The Trojan War has begun, and both sides of the conflict are pursuing any advantage they can possibly gain. Two opposing heroes - Hector of the Trojans and Achilles of the Greeks - seek the favor of the gods to give them support and tip the scales of fate. Only one side will emerge victorious, and its hero will become the legend of the Iliad.
Iliad is a two-player strategy game of tile placement by Reiner Knizia. On your turn, you choose one of two tiles from your hand and place it on the board next to an opponent's tile. Both players have symmetrical pools of tiles ranging in strength from 1-5, along with the Dolos tile, which mimics the opponent's adjacent tiles. The key to victory lies in the relentless tension of where and when to place your tiles. When you place a tile, you can also activate the tile's ability, which can turn the tide of the war.
When a row or column is filled, the player with the highest total strength in that row gets the right to choose one of the two success tokens at the end of that row or column; the other token goes to the opponent. Success tokens can grant you favor from the gods, and they can earn (or cost you) points. At the end of the game, the winner is the player who has earned the favor of all five gods. If both players - or neither - meet this qualification, the player who has earned the most points wins. As a result, players will face tough tactical trade-offs as they decide whether to compete for the exclusive favor of the gods or for the most points - and then influence the outcome of the game in their intended favor.
