About the game

What is Aegeapolis

It's 431 B.C., and the Greek world is sliding into war.

Four city-states stand at the center of it, and you lead one: the naval power of Athens, belligerent Sparta, the trading giant of Corinth, or seven-gated Thebes. Each has its own leader: Athene, Leonidas, Sisyphos, and Phix. Each plays to a different strength.

But history is yours to rewrite. Every city is free to choose how it is governed, as a monarchy, a democracy, or an aristocracy, and it can change course later at a price. Will Sparta turn to democracy and the open sea? Will Corinth raise an aristocratic empire and conquer its neighbors? Nothing here is fixed. You decide.

You play on two boards at once. The first is the board on the table. Here the rules are clear, and you can think through every move: explore the map, build trade routes, recruit and march your phalanxes, capture cities, and fight for the ground that matters. The second is the table itself, where a single transaction can shift the whole game. As the map fills up, the player whose road you need can often influence your plans. A deal is rarely just a deal.
