About the game
What you do in a play session
The cool thing about Viktory II is its modular map, which you assemble with mountain, forest, plains, grassland, and water hexes. This flexibility allows you to create boards of various sizes, adapting the duration and intensity of the game to your liking. The objective? Dominate the map and your opponents, either by direct elimination or subjugation. As your units explore the territory, you can build towns and cities to strengthen your presence. When players encounter each other, the fighting begins! Combat is resolved with dice rolls, considering unit type, terrain, and the presence of structures. Oh, and your units are maintained by a unique support system, where building or capturing cities is crucial to keeping your army on its feet. It's a game that invites you to be aggressive and think quickly, leaving no room for stalling.
