Iliad
Vie for the favor of the gods in a clash of titans.
In Iliad, two players command the heroes Hector and Achilles as they wage the Trojan War. This elegant tile-placement strategy game strips away the epic narrative and focuses instead on tense tactical decisions—placing symmetrical tiles on a checkerboard grid and activating their powers to claim the favor of the gods. Every turn forces you to choose: commit a tile now or hold back for a better moment? Simple rules hide a deep decision space where hand management and spatial positioning determine victory.
Perfect for players who love head-to-head strategy games with minimal luck and clean, repeatable mechanics. Designed by legendary game architect Reiner Knizia, Iliad offers the kind of elegant puzzle-solving that has defined his career.
