Successors: The Battles for Alexander's Empire (First/Second Edition)

Players take the roles of rival generals competing to carve out territories from the fractured empire after Alexander's death. The game uses a point-to-point map, oversized colorful counters, and a shared deck of cards that drive movement, battles, and special events. Conflict resolves through card-driven operations and maneuvering as players vie for control of key cities and regions, form temporary alliances, and exploit opportunities created by others' actions. Multiplayer diplomacy and timing of card plays shape the shifting balance of power across the Hellenistic world.
