Join us on an epic journey through the world of Archaic Period Greece, where heroes are born, city-states clash in bitter rivalries, and the gods themselves shape the destiny of mortals. Prepare to immerse yourself in a strategic and immersive board game experience.

In this game, you will embark on a quest to build and shape your own city-state, compete against formidable adversaries, and navigate the intricacies of ancient Greek society.

Against its rich historical and mythological backdrop, the game offers a unique blend of area control, rondel mechanics, and deckbuilding, tableau building, set collection and resource management. As you expand your city-state and manage your resources, you'll need to strategize your moves on the rondel, carefully planning your actions. Building and managing your deck allows you to customize your strategy and prepare for exciting challenges.

Will you channel the wisdom of the mighty Olympian gods to lead your city-state to greatness? Or will you rely on cunning tactics and military might to conquer your rivals?

As you explore the game's intricately designed world, you will encounter iconic figures from Greek history and mythology, engage in trade and diplomacy, and face the challenges and rewards of city-building. Every decision you make will shape the fate of your city-state and determine your path to victory.

Are you ready to step into the world of legends and forge your own destiny? Join us and become part of the legacy of the ancient Greeks.

The cultural and historical aspects of the game have been closely checked by Jan Heinemann, a historian specializing in Archaic and Classical Greece.

The game will contain the following additional Legendary Heroes: 

Achilleús, the Scion of Peleus. With the "Aegis of Achilles" ability, not only does he count as a Hoplite for all game purposes, but other players may not interact with the Land space occupied by him through Mythology cards. See the sketches for this legendary hero in this update and watch our social media channels to see its final incarnation. 

Hektor, the Defender of Troy. With his "Duelling Champion" ability, he may initiate a Skirmish at any time during your turn on the Land space he occupies. See sketches of this mighty hero of the Trojan War in this update.

Odysseus, Wanderer of the Wine-dark Seas. With his ability as the "Cunning Strategist", he will grow in power throughout the game for each challenge defeated in a different region. See details in this social media post.

"Pillars of Heracles" is the first chapter in an ambitious trilogy titled "Legends of Hellas," inviting you to embark on an unparalleled journey through ancient Greece. By backing us, you become part of a larger narrative that spans from the adventurous Archaic Period to the rise of democracy, the clash of Sparta and Athens, and facing the Persian threat during the Classic Period in "Age of Pericles", and onto the expansive conquests and strategic genius of Alexander the Great and the Successor States in "Sons of Heracles." This trilogy is not just about playing a game; it's about experiencing the history of this magnificent civilization unfolding in its entirety.
