SPARTA!: Struggle for Greece

About this board game

SPARTA!: Struggle for Greece is a card-driven historical conflict game for 1–2 players, with a solo bot included, and a play time of approximately 180 minutes. Take command of the Athenians or Spartans and fight to dominate the Greek world.

Build your position by controlling valuable regions that provide distinctive advantages. Sicily offers wealth, Corinth provides fleets, and alliances with major cities such as Thebes or Syracuse can bring fresh recruits to your armies. You may also rally the Persians and Macedonians to your side.

Military operations combine movement, raids, sieges, and diplomacy. March armies into enemy territories or sortie fleets to raid them, then besiege important cities and face opposing forces in fierce battles. Combat is bloody and swiftly resolved through an elegant card-based system, keeping every confrontation focused and decisive.

Legendary figures guide your efforts. Leaders including Pericles and Cleon bring unique abilities to the struggle, whether through combat prowess or cunning diplomacy. As characters gain experience, they can be flipped to upgraded forms with more powerful abilities.
