Hubris - Twilight of the Hellenistic World Game

Hubris – Twilight of the Hellenistic World is played in five-year turns. Every turn sees the introduction of new leaders and events, feeding a single deck of events governing the occurrence of recurrent or one-off events, game administration mechanisms, and kingdom activation opportunities and sequence. Covering a vast array of historical and quasi-historical happenings, events capture the activities of non-player powers such as the Greek Leagues, Hannibal’s war in Italy, or specific crises within the kingdoms, presenting players with ever renewed challenges and opportunities. How the players respond to these will greatly impact their success (or lack thereof).

Victory is achieved by controlling territorial objectives specific to each kingdom, accumulating dynastic achievements, and building the renown of one’s king. The ultimate objective is to reach the Automatic Victory threshold at the end of a turn, marking the winner as having established final hegemony over the Hellenistic world and being strong enough to successfully oppose Rome’s expansion in the East. But beware! A kingdom may also be eliminated if repeatedly defeated by Roman armies.

The game offers a variety of scenarios ranging from introductory one-turn scenarios, through short and medium-length 3- and 6-turn scenarios, to the full campaign spanning the entirety of the period through 11 glorious turns. A typical game turn lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the intensity of conflict. Most scenarios are designed to be played with three players, but the game also offers 2-player rules and great solo playability thanks to having no hidden information and coming with extensive priorities and guidelines player aids for non-played kingdoms.
