Myrmidons

Myrmidons, first released as a game playable with Nestortiles, is a game for two players. The Myrmidons were the fiercest warriors in all of ancient Greece. This game represents a small-scale battle between two brave armies of Myrmidons, both trying to eliminate the rival. All of them look alike, but not all are equal. They vary in speed, strength and defense, and players must discover each other's weaknesses during the battle in order to win the game. The base game contains 12 myrmidon pieces (two each of six different types), a 6x7 checkered board, and a cotton case. An expansion with 28 additional pieces (two each of 14 new different types) is available to provide different playing configurations.
