Check out our initial thoughts after playing Pericles: The Peloponnesian Wars by GMT Games. Such a fantastic game! Well designed, great mechanics (love the Assembly Phase and the debating), beautiful components and a mounted mapboard. Great game!
You can also check out our unboxing video here to get a closer look at the components.

I still love the game. My only concern that has arisen, and it is probably because of the way my brain works, is that this game really is made for 4 players. The 2 player system causes each player to play one side of both the Athenians and the Spartans and it can be really confusing as to what you are doing, should be doing and want to do. Just a playability issue for me. The game is great fun, and as with Churchill, I love it not for the war part but for the debating of the issues. Such great fun to try and outsmart your opponent to get what you wanted.
