Iliad

The Greeks are besieging Troy, and Helen is waiting. Iliad (2006) puts two to six players in command of Greek heroes in a card game of rock-paper-scissors style battles. Victory cards come into play in several stages, and with the right cards you strengthen your own army or weaken someone else's. When the siege ends, the strongest players pick a victory card of their choice, the cards in play are discarded and a new phase begins with whatever remains in your hand, plus three fresh cards each. First to 12 points wins. Team play is possible. A mythology card duel of about 45 minutes.
