Designed by Reiner Knizia, it offers quick 30-minute gameplay with simple turns but deep tactical decisions. Players compete as Hector or Achilles to gain favor from five gods using 18 tiles each and 29 success tokens on a premium cloth board. Ideal for ages 10+, Iliad is the first in the Mythos Collection and has earned critical acclaim for its elegant design and intense head-to-head play. ## Description 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. Review: Knizia’s Gift to the 2 Player Genre. - I have several games by Dr. Knizia. Perviously, I would have said Scotten-Totten was my favorite. This game is in a class by its own. From the onset it is a struggle, simple rules but cutthroat tactics. May stand as a classic. ## Features - THE TROJAN WAR HAS BEGUN! - Vie for the favor of the gods in this 2-player Trojan War struggle between Hector and Achilles. Iliad is the first game in the Mythos Collection, a line of 2-player games. - HOW TO PLAY - Iliad is a 2-player tile-laying and manipulation game. You'll place tiles, activate special abilities, complete rows to gain tokens, and collect all five gods. - SIMPLE TURNS, AGNOIZING DECISIONS - Turns are dead simple — place a tile then draw a new one. Players face tough tactical trade-offs as they must decide whether to compete for gods or points. - WHAT'S IN THE BOX? - Inside Iliad: 1 Cloth Board, 29 Success Tokens, 18 Blue Hector Tiles, 18 Red Achilles Tiles, 1 Success Tokens Bag - CRITICAL ACCLAIM - "I love Iliad. This is what I could call the perfect mid-weight Knizia." - Dan Thurot (Space-Biff) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D9R27F65 | | Age Range Description | 10+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #154,944 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #3,825 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Bitewing Games | | Color | Red and Blue | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 1 Review | | Estimated Playing Time | 30 Minutes | | Grenre | Strategy | | Included Components | Layout | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 7.9 x 7.9 x 2.3 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 7.9"L x 7.9"W | | Item Type Name | Board Game | | Item Weight | 498 Grams | | Manufacturer | Bitewing Games | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 120.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | BTW1200 | | Material Type | Paper | | Model Name | Iliad | | Model Number | GME-BTWIL | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Size | 201 cm x 5.84 cm | | Subject Character | Hector and Achilles | | Theme | History | | UPC | 691835952857 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Bitewing Games Iliad Board Game, Reiner Knizia Tile-Placement, 2 Players | Compete as Hector or Achilles for Favor of the Gods in This Trojan War Duel | Ages 10+ | 30 Min - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bIyt8M01L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knizia’s Gift to the 2 Player Genre. *by M***L on July 9, 2026* I have several games by Dr. Knizia.
