About the game
Players take control of the civilizations of ancient Greece. Through auctions in each of the 8 rounds, the players develop their civilizations, adding territory through Land Tiles and prestigious buildings through the Building Tiles. These increase the civilizations' inhabitants, luxury, wealth and power. Luxury goods allow flexibility in providing for a player's population, while some tiles also offer protection against the many disasters that happen during the game. Only through a balance of inhabitants, land and buildings can a player claim victory and join the heroes of Peloponnesian history. Los jugadores toman el control de las civilizaciones de la antigua Grecia. A través de subastas en cada una de las 8 rondas, los jugadores desarrollan sus civilizaciones, añadiendo territorio mediante losetas de terreno y edificios de prestigio mediante las losetas de construcción. Estos aumentan los habitantes, el lujo, la riqueza y el poder de las civilizaciones. Los bienes de lujo permiten flexibilidad a la hora de abastecer a la población de un jugador, mientras que algunas losetas también ofrecen protección contra los numerosos desastres que ocurren durante el juego. Sólo mediante un equilibrio de habitantes, tierras y edificios puede un jugador alzarse con la victoria y unirse a los héroes de la historia del Peloponeso.

Peloponnes supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Peloponnes is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Peloponnes for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Peloponnes has a complexity rating of 2.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
