The Trojan War has begun, and both sides of the conflict pursue every advantage they can possibly gain. Two opposing heroes — Hector of the Trojans and Achilles of the Greeks — seek the favor of the gods to lend them support and tip the scales of fate. Only one side will emerge victorious, its hero becoming the legend of the Iliad.

Iliad is the first game in the Mythos Collection, a line of two-player titles by Bitewing Games featuring strategy and mythology.

Simple Turns, Agonizing Decisions
Turns are dead simple — place a tile from your hand and draw a new one. Both players have symmetrical pools of tiles, with their strength ranging from 1-5 plus the Dolos tile (which mimics your opponent’s adjacent tiles). The key to victory lies behind the relentless tension of where and when to commit your tiles. When placing a tile, you may also activate the tile’s ability which can serve to turn the tide of war.

Players face tough tactical trade-offs as they must decide whether to compete for exclusive favour of the Gods or for the most points and then influence the outcome of the game toward their intended advantage. Which lines do you commit your strongest tiles to, and which success token do you claim when you win the line? These decisions are vital to success.
