Overview
Commands & Colors: Ancients puts you in command of ancient armies, recreating historical battles on a modular hex grid. Each player controls a side, using command cards to activate units and order them to move, attack, or perform other actions. The game relies on dice rolling for combat resolution, with different units having unique strengths and weaknesses.
Clever hand management is key, as you must choose the right command cards to maximize your effectiveness on the battlefield. The modular board allows for recreating a wide array of scenarios, each with its own tactical challenges. Playing the game feels like orchestrating a real ancient battle, balancing strategy, luck, and skillful execution of your orders to achieve victory.
