Polis

Polis takes you back to the 5th century BC, where the fate of Greece rests in the hands of two powerful city-states: Athens and Sparta. As the leader of one of these factions, you’ll navigate the complexities of war, diplomacy, and resource management to establish your league’s dominance in this civilization-shattering conflict. Military might alone won’t secure victory; you must balance your efforts between expanding your territory, attracting other Poleis (city-states) through diplomacy or force, and ensuring your people are well-fed and culturally prosperous.

In this tense, two-player strategy game, every decision matters. You’ll need to carefully allocate your resources to strengthen your city’s political and cultural influence while keeping a keen eye on your rival’s movements. Trade routes, alliances, and the support of powerful Poleis can shift the balance of power in your favor, but your opponent will be working just as hard to undermine your efforts and expand their own influence.

Polis is a game of tactical depth and tough choices, where managing your league’s economy, forging alliances, and excelling in both warfare and cultural advancements are all essential to achieving hegemony.
