Watch “How to Play Iliad (Dominique Ehrhard boardgame),” a how-to-play guide for Iliad from d. chang on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by d. chang on YouTube:

A primer on how to play the boardgame/card game Iliad. This is a fun and well-designed game with a really terrible manual. It features two surprisingly different game modes (the two "siege" victory conditions, Gorgon and Thanatos, which make for very different gameplay). This is not the Iliad game designed by German boardgame titan Reiner Knizia. This is the Iliad game from Dominique Ehrhard, who's also known as an artist and children's book author. Quick unpolished video by videogame designer D. Chang aka https://www.videogamewriter.com .

About Iliad, from BoardGameGeek:

From the publisher : The players will lead their Greek characters into a bold action of besieging Troy and rescuing the beautiful Helene. The first one to reach 12 points will be the winner. During the game, various stages will unfold and during these, the victory cards are put into play. As it happens, a player can make his own army stronger or weaken those of his opponents by playing the correct cards. After the siege, the strongest players will receive a victory card of their choice, all cards in play will be discarded, and a new phase will unfold with the cards remaining in each player's hand. Each player will then receive 3 new cards and the next battle round will commence.
