Description

A two-players game derived from Stratego, but asymmetrical and themed in the Greek Mythology universe. Two teams of gods struggle for the dominance of the Olympus - its current occupiers, lead by Zeus, against the Chthonians, entities of the Underworld lead by Hades.

Both players choose a team of 9 out of 12 units. As in Stratego, their pieces identities are hidden from the opponent before they enter combat. Besides their pieces, each side has two important assets, Honor and Energy, which are crucial in their mobility and combat power.

Both sides have different victory conditions: the Chthonians win by moving one of their leaders (Hades or his wife Persephone) into the Olympus top, while the Olympians must simply avoid the Chothonian success by eliminating their leadership from the game. Also, a player loses when ending up with less than 1 Honor point.
