Peloponnes Card Game (2015)

About this game

The Peloponnese — home of the mighty and proud city-states, the "poleis". In the Peloponnes Card Game, you lead one of them through the ages, gaining fame and prosperity while weathering disaster. Over eight rounds, you develop your civilization by claiming new territory, constructing prestigious buildings, and increasing your population. Can you balance the pursuit of glory with the needs of your people? The Peloponnes Card Game is based on the Peloponnes board game; a few details were simplified, while the strategic projections and the feeling of the game are new!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
