About Minos Strategos
You are the legendary Minos Strategos (general of the ancient city of Minos)! Command the defenders of the temple by harnessing the power of specific battle formations to push back the Minotaur hordes. Minos Strategos is a quick single-player strategy game with a focus on elegance and clarity. Climb the single-player ladder as you devise flexible strategies, amassing an ever-growing collection of command cards as you go!

Unlock collectible command cards to summon powerful threats, clear large swaths of enemies in an area of effect, and form powerful chaining combos to play multiple cards in a single turn.

"A quaintly Medieval exercise in chucking dice, flipping cards, and taming a pastoral landscape. BrainGood Games has done a fantastic job capturing boardgame elegance in a tidy videogame package, complete with a gently punishing metagame."

"These guys, BrainGoodGames, make some wonderful boardgame-like strategy games. Their newest one, Skyboats, is in the Euro game genre, and it is simply outstanding. The developers are very clever, and have obviously playtested the heck out of this design."

Braingood game. This game has a song which is called ,,To Arms" which is one of the most badass songs that i had the pleasure to listen to in quite some time. 11/102 found this helpful
A well-crafted classic game with a nice soundtrack that evokes the ancient Greece setting. Chess-like, taking turns but it's "control the temples" to score points and win, not "control the center of the board" and capture opponent's pieces to win. So that's refreshingly un-bloodthirsty. Cards give it randomness and replayability, but this is not a deckbuilder. Good "work-for-brain" puzzle board to solve when you have 5 or 10 minutes to play.2 found this helpful
Minos Strategos is really really fun, its hard to tell from the graphics, but its a fun strategy game1 found this helpful
You basically just move a piece each turn, capture, and try to hold spaces against respawning minotaurs. You get to play a card or use another ability each turn. Simple and elegant, very challenging and rewarding, but not overwhelming either.1 found this helpful
Another BGG game where it decides the difficulty and you have no control over it. That decision makes the game unplayable.
