Alexander the Great

The second "historical" title of the One Page Games series: it's a quick game where you play the role of Alexander on his march from Macedonia to India, where he will meet the Indian army at the Hydaspes River (326 BC).

The game uses the engine of Hannibal ad Portas, with several changes introduced to better represent the campaigns of Alexander:

  • Companions special rules
  • Persian and Indian armies
  • Army oorale

New stratagems and events have been added to provide new challenges to the player.

Game Components

The Game Rules
One Game Board
Two Enemy Sheets (Persian and Indian)
The 1PG deck (18 cards)
"The 1PG Deck" document

One Page Games (1PG) have been designed with the objective of being "light" games in terms of:

  • Time
  • Table space
  • Cost

I've found more and more difficult to find the time to study a full-featured game, while often I've got a 30 minutes break in the daily routine: 1PG have been designed to fill this small interval. Rules are easy and short enough to provide a quick but interesting gaming session: from this perspective 1PG are great for a flight, since they perfectly fit on the small space of a plane seat.

Each 1PG must follow two design rules:

  1. All the components for the game must be managed on a single A4 sheet of paper (no counter, no dice).
  2. The same deck of 18 cards is used by all the games to provide randomness without the need of using dice.

In addition, you will only need a pencil and a eraser.
