Alexander the Great is dead, leaving no clear successor to the throne – or the vast empire he had conquered. His generals scramble to establish themselves as the new rulers of Alexander’s empire, and an epic conflict ensues. Take on the role of one of those generals and lead your faction of the once-united Macedonian army to victory!

Description

Successors is a card-driven, point-to-point movement strategy for 2-5 players. As a player, you control a faction of the Macedonian army. You can claim victory either by achieving royal legitimacy within Macedonian society or by controlling the most valuable provinces of Alexander’s immense empire. But beware of becoming too successful too soon, or you will end up having to fend off attacks from all sides!

Successors is the fourth edition of one of the best multiplayer card-driven strategy games ever published. The box contains a new and improved board, updated cards, and rewritten rulebook but also a plethora of additions: the introduction of the fifth player, more scenarios, a playbook, new cards, and 23 large plastic miniatures.

Outstanding. Plenty of rules. But if you break through them it's a masterpiece.

A very deep strategic game with various action options (and pretty fast turns, all things considered). CU tokens can sometimes be hard to stack or move, but the board feels like an epic battlefield.

Love ancient historical games and Phalanx has done a good job with Successors. It looks good, plays fantastic and even let you dive into the history.

Giampaolo La Rosa
This is a game I really loved before I played it. The history behind it and how it's put in game is brilliant. A point-to-point wargame more concise and playable than the others but also very deep.
