Polis (CZ) - strategy game for 2 players

A deep political and military strategy game for 2 players set during the Peloponnesian War

Welcome to the 5th century BC, an era when the city-states of ancient Greece (poleis) were thriving centers of culture and politics. After turning back the Persian invasion, growing rivalries between the Greek states erupted into the devastating Peloponnesian War. In Polis, two players take command of Athens and Sparta to compete for ultimate hegemony over the Greek world.

How to play?

Players expand their power and influence using both diplomacy and military strength. You must forge alliances with neutral poleis, manage scarce resources, and keep your economy running smoothly while securing new territories. Raising your league's prestige while maintaining economic balance is the ultimate key to victory.

Why you will love Polis:

• Seamless blend of economy and warfare: Carefully balance resource management with military expansion without overextending your forces.
