Lords of Hellas: Leonidas

About this expansion

Lords of Hellas: Leonidas is a 2018 board game for 1–4 players with a listed play time of 90 minutes. It introduces a Kickstarter-exclusive leader who can be chosen during setup.

Leonidas is built around combat. His starting bonus gives him 2 Combat Cards at the beginning of the game, providing a clear advantage to his battle-focused approach from the outset.

His special ability directly rewards Combat Cards that feature Casualty Symbols. During Battle, each Casualty Symbol on a Combat Card increases that card’s Strength by 1, making those symbols an important part of Leonidas’s effectiveness.

• Leader: Leonidas, available as a Kickstarter-exclusive choice during setup
• Starting Bonus: Begin with 2 Combat Cards
• Special Ability: Combat Cards gain +1 Strength for each Casualty Symbol on them during Battle

This combination makes Leonidas a particularly strong warrior in the game. Players who choose him can focus on the relationship between their Combat Cards, Casualty Symbols, and battle Strength.

As a focused leader option, Lords of Hellas: Leonidas adds a distinctive combat identity to setup. Its rules are concise, but the effect is clear: cards carrying more Casualty Symbols can become more powerful when Battle begins.
