Fenix

About this board game

Fenix is a two-player strategy game for a 20-minute battle between two opposing armies, released in 2019. Each side is led by a king and supported by generals and soldiers in a struggle where defeat may not be the end.

In many strategy games, losing the king means losing the battle. Fenix takes a different approach: the battle is not automatically lost when one king is defeated.

Its defining idea comes from the immortal phoenix-bird. When a king loses his life, he rises again from the ashes, allowing the cycle of conflict to begin once more. The result is a battle shaped by the possibility of renewal rather than a single final defeat.

• Designed for exactly two players
• Approximately 20 minutes of play time
• Features opposing kings, generals, and soldiers
• A defeated king can rise again from the ashes

This central twist gives Fenix its distinctive identity. The king may be dead, but the king can return, keeping the struggle between the two armies alive and challenging expectations about when a battle is truly over.

For players seeking a focused head-to-head strategy experience, Fenix offers a concise confrontation built around armies, leadership, and the phoenix-like cycle of life, defeat, and return.
