Hey everyone! Ready to dive into Ancient Greece and relive the Peloponnesian War? In Pericles: The Peloponnesian Wars, you'll be transported to the period from 460 to 400 BC, taking command of one of two Athenian or Spartan factions. Forget the idea of a linear game; this is a strategic 'sandbox' for up to four players, where every political and military decision counts.

The game is divided into two crucial phases: politics and war. In the war phase, the rivalry is clear: Athens against Sparta, a true 'us versus them'. But things get spicier in the political phase, where the dispute is internal: Athenian faction against Athenian faction, and Spartan king against Spartan king. It's an 'me versus you' within your own team, where intrigue and negotiation are as important as military might.

The ultimate goal? The City-State (Athens or Sparta) that accumulates the most Honor wins the war. But it doesn't stop there! Within the winning side, the faction with the most Honor is the true champion. In other words, you need to collaborate with your side to win the war, but without forgetting to stand out to be the great statesman. Pericles offers a huge variety of scenarios, from 30-minute mini-theaters to epic campaigns covering the First and Second Peloponnesian Wars. And if you like playing alone, there are rules for 3, 2, and even solo play. Get ready for lots of strategy, dice, and impactful decisions!
