Politeia takes the players back to the Persian Wars. Faced with the threat of a Persian invasion, the players must cooperate to defend their civilization. However, the competition for wealth and resources is fierce, as simulated by an inventive action mechanism, and just like the Ancient Greeks, the players are likely to turn their weapons against each other instead.

By selecting actions from the common action board, the players may optimize own action combinations as well as blocking other players' actions. Using the actions, the players fight for majority in the city-states and colonies of Ancient Greece in a highly interactive game. The winner is the player with the most citizens on the board when the game ends.

Politeia was semi-finalist in the Fastaval 2022.

My name is Nicholas Hjelmberg and I am a hobby gamer since childhood. Starting with classic games like chess and RISK, I moved on to explore "American" games like Diplomacy and Civilization and then "Euro games" like Settlers and Tigris & Euphrates. Combining my game experience with my history interest and IT and quality profession, I have entered the exciting world of board game design and production.
