Pericles is a `sandbox` wargame that covers the entire period of conflict described in Thucydides` classic history on the Peloponnesian wars. Here, two teams of Athenian and Spartan factions fight for Hegemony in 5th Century Greece, vying for control of their City States, strategy, and honor. Athens sees the Aristocrats debate issues with their opposing Demagogues, while in Sparta House Agiad and House Eurypontid contend for royal dominance.
