Byzantium is a classic historical strategy board game designed by acclaimed designer Martin Wallace, set during the decline of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Islamic Caliphate. Players compete to exert influence, manage political pressure, and outmaneuver rivals in a tense struggle for power, survival, and personal victory.
Unlike traditional conquest games, Byzantium emphasizes strategic positioning, timing, and indirect conflict, rewarding players who carefully balance military pressure with political opportunism. The asymmetric setting and shifting fortunes of the empire create a highly interactive experience with strong historical flavor.
This copy appears to be factory sealed, making it ideal for collectors as well as strategy gamers seeking a standout design from Martin Wallace’s earlier catalog and the respected Warfrog Games imprint.
