The Shield of Achilles

This is a solo only roll&write game, designed during the Covid lockdowns. As for publishing, I just made it available as a free to download Print and Play game.

What is the game about?

The war at Troy has been waging for 10 years now. Achilles, hero of the greeks prepares to avenge his dear friend Patroclus. In order to do so, Achilles' mother, the goddess Thetis ask the help of Hephaestus (you), blacksmith of the gods to create a new shield for him.

During the course of the game, you will craft the famous shield depicting scenes of ancient greek life. Your objective is to score more points by crafting the shield than the points on your discarded dice by the end of the game. These discarded dice values represent the scrap metal that Apollo steals away from you to create arrows for Paris, who is destined to kill Achilles.

Components you'll need:

1 pcs gamesheet & rulebook

3 pcs D12 dice

4 pcs any kind of small markers

any type of writing material
