About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an epic adventure where Ancient Greece becomes your battlefield! In War: Batalhas Mitológicas, Grow Jogos delivers a version of the classic War with a divine twist. Forget generals and tanks; here, you command armies of infantry and mythical creatures like centaurs and cyclops, all while the Olympian gods watch – and sometimes even interfere! The objective is the good old world domination: conquer territories, continents, or eliminate an opponent to prove your supremacy. The gameplay retains the essence you already know: exchange cards for warriors, deploy your forces, and attack adjacent territories. But wait, the novelties are the special spice! Each turn, you collect coins based on the temples and Mount Olympus you control, adding a strategic layer of resource management. And if you attack with a mythical creature? Prepare for a unique dice roll, with three d6 and one d8, discarding the lowest result for a more exciting combat. Oh, and we can't forget the favor of the gods! Pay a coin to Hades, and he can revive up to three of your fallen warriors. It's Greek mythology on your table, with miniatures and plenty of strategy for 3 or 4 players.
