## Overview

Phalanx Successors Strategy Board Game is a 4th edition, card-driven, point-to-point multiplayer game for 2-5 players aged 14+, featuring revamped boards, updated rules, and historical scenarios. With 90+ minutes of immersive gameplay, players compete for Victory and Legitimacy Points in a dynamic, betrayal-filled struggle for Alexander the Great’s empire.

## Description

Alexander the Great is dead. All his most loyal generals tribute their respect to their dead king, staring at his ring, a symbol of great power... and the war of the succession is soon to come! Successors is one of the best multiplayer strategy games ever published and this new fourth edition published by Phalanx promises to become the best edition ever of this classic boardgame. This fourth edition of this card-driven, point-to-point movement strategy game is having a plethora of upgrades to make it stand out among similarly themed games. A new, improved layout of the board, charts and cards, a rewritten and updated rulebook to fix some issues of previous editions, and an introduction to historical scenarios which streamline the gameplay and shorten game sessions make this version a real masterpiece for the fans.

Review: The best edition...probably - I had the GMT edition of Successors, and didn't think I needed to upgrade to this one. A review in Vae Victis magazine convinced me otherwise; I've since bought this game, the XL roll-up board, and sold off my GMT edition. The one thing I actively dislike about this edition is the cards; there's just no reason for these to be tarot-sized cards; the art and flavor text just don't stand out (with a few exceptions; Olympias has a great card). The miniatures don't really fly for me, but the standees are great. I think this is the canonical edition now, and since I take this game somewhat seriously that's also a key consideration. I'm not as big a fan of the five-player game as some others are; it might be a good gameplay experience but it doesn't reflect the period as well. All in all, Successors is an amazing game; I think it's the best multiplayer CDG (but with plenty of competition); I think this is the best version but if you're just curious and can find the GMT edition for half this price I won't talk you out of it.
Review: the game board and the rules impressed me the most

## Features

- Take part in the conflict between titular diadochi – Successors – to the legacy and empire of Alexander the Great.
- Clash with your former brothers in arms turned enemies to gain control of provinces in order to increase the number of your Victory Points or pull appropriate strings to secure the Legitimacy Points e.g. by providing Alexander’s tomb with a suitable resting place. But beware, too many Victory Points with respect to other players and you end up having an esteem of a Usurper who could be attacked freely by everyone.
- Therefore, choose you strategy wisely. It sometimes is more profitable to hold your horses for every aspect of the game is intertwined with another and the sudden turn of events may surprise you with the most unfortunate outcome, for instance you might be forced to take sides with someone who stabbed you in the back couple of rounds earlier.
- However, as they must have said even in 4th Century B.C., the end justifies the means. Especially, when succession is at stake.
- 2-5 Players | Ages 14+ | 90+ Minutes Playing Time

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***O on January 3, 2023*

La mayoría de los Wargames se parecen más a los juegos de rol que a otro tipo de juegos como los euro. En el sentido que la experiencia se disfruta más en relación con el conocimiento de cada jugador con la historia, o mejor dicho, la guerra que se quiera reproducir. En succesors hay demasiados componentes, demasiadas reglas, demasiadas particularidades y excepciones a esas reglas que hacen la dinámica del juego, que en esencia es sencilla, más complicada de lo que realmente debería ser. Pero, si se conoce la increíble historia de las guerras de los Diádocos se podría soportar las excepciones con la escusa de "la reproducción fidedigna de la historia". Ahondo en esto último, en el juego hay una unidad especial, lo macedonios reales, que en cada combate se tiene que comprobar su lealtad. Es una regla inecesaria que involucra una mecánica confusa "prestigio" que no sirve para nada más en el juego que para ver si los macedonios reales cambian o no de bando. Al final esto último solo reproduce la realidad histórica que los soldados veteranos de Alejandro Magno conocían a los generales y los apollaban, tanto por su proezas de guerra, como por su legitimidad en la sucesión del trono. Y así puedo seguir con las excepciones de cambio político según cada fase de turno y la diferencia entre asedios a poblados enemigos o independientes. Si se le suma la redacción confusa del reglamento, ya que no explica inmediatamente o en un glosario general algunos mecánicas como el prestigio, o la manera de obtener legitimidad; tenemos un juego que se aprecia difícil de jugar, aprender o enseñar, e intimida a los jugadores que no están acostumbrados. Pero en realidad si se omiten un par de reglas en pos de la fidelidad histórica tenemos un interesantísimo y emocionante simulador de la guerra de los Diádocos con mecánica sencillisimas: refuerza, asedia, juega cartas tyche, mueve tus generales, combate, remueve los controles politicos y vuelve a empezar. Con un par de auxilios de jugador extra y una hoja completa para la matriz de resolución de combate y asedio se puede hacer el juego más fluido. De los componentes no hablo porque son de lo mejor y hacen una mesa hermosa y muy llamativa (dejo las fotos de la preparación inicial y el tablero después de un turno). Aún así las mecánicas hacen la información del tablero, generales y ejércitos confusa y definitivamente las miniaturas de los generales son solo por estética pues al no traer su nombre se vuelven impracticos, es mejor jugar con las tablillas del general que traen el nombre y son más fáciles de organizar. En resumen para los amantes, no de las guerras de Alejandro Magno, sino de las guerras por la sucesión de su imperio es un deleite histórico y fidedigno de cómo ser un general de campaña en estos tiempos. Si no se tienen un grupo de 3 o 4 amigos dispuestos a comprender las reglas o amantes de esta historia en particular, mejor alejense.
