About Iliad: Heroes of Troy, from BoardGameGeek:
Iliad: Heroes of Troy is a simple yet deep game of 32 cards based on the epic narrative by Homer. The cards represent major characters of the poem and include flavor text linked to the original story.
At the beginning of the game each player chooses a faction (Greeks or Trojans, with the inclusion of Gods for 3 players). When playing with 4 players, it becomes a team game.
Gameplay is simple and can be taught in minutes. Each turn, a player picks one card from their hand to play and then activates an ability printed on that card (3 choices). There are nine abilities that enable you to manipulate cards in your hand or your opponent's hand, earn victory points, or steal them from an opponent. The game ends when a player has no more cards in his hand, at which point the surprise factor of the Trojan Horse and Favor of the Gods award a few extra points.
Clever managing of your hand and wise choice of which ability to trigger can help you triumph over your opponents!
