Dive into Ancient Greece with my review of Reiner Knizia's latest two-player abstract strategy board games: Iliad and Ichor! From Bitewing Games' Mythos Collection, I'm breaking down both 2 player board games, how to play and who'll love them. One may even be potentially crowned the best 2 player board game of all time !!!
Iliad throws you into the Trojan War: Achilles vs. Hector. It's a tight tile-placement game of tough choices and strategic timing. Divine blessings or pure points?
Then there's Ichor, an asymmetric abstract where Greek gods clash with monsters. Move figures, drop "ichor," and unleash unique powers to outmanoeuvre your opponent.
In this review, you'll get:
Quick rules rundown for both.
My take on gameplay and strategy.
Comparisons: what sets them apart?
Who should play these games?
Final verdict: are these mythological duels worth it?
If you're into abstract strategy, seeking a new two player board game challenge, or just curious about Reiner Knizia's newest, this is for you!
