Designed by Reiner Knizia, it offers simple turns but deep strategic choices, packaged in a compact, portable set with a cloth board and 29 success tokens. ## Description The Trojan War has begun, and both sides of the conflict pursue every advantage they can possibly gain. Two opposing heroes — Hector of the Trojans and Achilles of the Greeks — seek the favor of the gods to lend them support and tip the scales of fate. Only one side will emerge victorious, its hero becoming the legend of the Iliad. Iliad is the first game in the Mythos Collection, a line of two-player titles by Bitewing Games featuring strategy and mythology. Review: Knizia’s Gift to the 2 Player Genre. - I have several games by Dr. Knizia. Perviously, I would have said Scotten-Totten was my favorite. This game is in a class by its own. From the onset it is a struggle, simple rules but cutthroat tactics. May stand as a classic. ## Features - THE TROJAN WAR HAS BEGUN! - Vie for the favor of the gods in this 2-player Trojan War struggle between Hector and Achilles. Iliad is the first game in the Mythos Collection, a line of 2-player games. - HOW TO PLAY - Iliad is a 2-player tile-laying and manipulation game. You'll place tiles, activate special abilities, complete rows to gain tokens, and collect all five gods. - SIMPLE TURNS, AGNOIZING DECISIONS - Turns are dead simple — place a tile then draw a new one. Players face tough tactical trade-offs as they must decide whether to compete for gods or points. - WHAT'S IN THE BOX? - Inside Iliad: 1 Cloth Board, 29 Success Tokens, 18 Blue Hector Tiles, 18 Red Achilles Tiles, 1 Success Tokens Bag - CRITICAL ACCLAIM - "I love Iliad.
