Siege the walls of Troy by surrounding warrior tiles before your rivals claim the plunder.
Who it's for
Fans of area-control abstracts who like a mythic ancient theme and enjoy sudden reversals of fortune.
Not for you if…
You dislike games where captures can slip away to another player on the very turn you set them up.
Vibe's take
Sharp and opportunistic, alliances of convenience form and dissolve within a single turn. You are always half a step from either a big capture or losing one you thought was yours.
ILIOS drops you before the walls of Troy, deploying warrior tiles whose spear-rays reach out to raid and surround the enemy. Encircle a tile completely and it falls into your plunder, but the fight shifts fast enough that a rival can snatch the spoils from under your nose.
