What is Successors (Fourth Edition)
When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, he left no clear heir to the immense empire he had conquered. It was not long after his death that the Macedonian generals began to war among themselves over who would be the regent or successor to Alexander's empire.
By 305 BC they had given up on succession and began to carve out their own kingdoms.
Successors is a 2-5 player card-driven wargame based on those wars.
Successors was first published in 1997 by Avalon Hill.

What the community says about Successors (Fourth Edition)
Comprado, jugado y vendido. Los componentes son buenos, pero la dinámica del juego no me ha terminado de convencer (hay más comentarios que lo explican muy bien). Además, echo en falta una mayor interrelación entre jugadores (diplomacia, cartas, etc.). En mi grupo no ha triunfado, pero oye, quizá en el tuyo sea la bomba. Para gustos, colores xD
Gran juego para 4 y 5 jugadores
Juego ambientando en el periodo posterior a la muerte de Alejandro magno y en las luchas de poder de sus herederos. Juego de control posicional y con oloricillo a wargame con motor de cartas. Es muy largo. Demasiado. Por encima de las cinco horas. Explicaciones también bastante densas.. aunque una vez que te metes en la partida, es interesante. Es del estilo del his.
