{"product_id":"perikles","title":"Perikles","description":"Perikles is a game from Martin Wallace. Players assume the role of a noble family seeking to become the leader of one or more of 6 ancient Greek city-states. The game plays out in two phases:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first; players vie for area control in each of the six states; which end in elections. Players who win the election in each state can then control that state's army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the second phase; players use cards to move their armies to attack or defend one of seven battles (each tied to a state; and you can't attack your own!) that are up for grabs that round.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gameplay mechanic is straightforward; with elements drawn from other Euro-style wargames (especially Martin Wallace's Struggle of Empires). What makes Perikles unique is the smooth integration of the area control\/voting phase and the military phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the back of the box:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether the Greek City States had defeated the greatest power in the world; the Persians. Now; though; pride and envy have led them to fight amongst themselves in what we know today as the Peloponnesian War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach player represents a powerful Greek family with political influence spread across the six major city states of ancient Greece. Players strive to become leaders of these cities; thus taking control of their military forces. With these forces players will aim to win glory on the battlefield.","brand":"Game Centre Nz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47530208493873,"sku":"FFWF03","price":104.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/7142\/0212\/files\/pic138479.webp?v=1700868443","url":"https:\/\/gamecentre.info\/products\/perikles","provider":"Game Centre Nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
