414 BC: Siege of Syracuse is a very light war game where you play as the Athenians trying to conquer the city of Syracuse. You can achieve this goal by surrounding them with fortifications and blocking their port or reducing their morale through combat.

Each turn you will choose a command(building walls, moving troops, attacking, or recouping) then draw an event card. These cards represent Syracuse's actions in the game and generally are a hindrance. Roll a die then consult the appropriate table to determine the result.

There isn't any grand tactics or planning necessary. You really only have to focus on this turn and not worry too much about the next. It is decent for when you want something basic that doesn't tax the brain.
