About Thermopyles

Thermopyles is a game that Touko Tahkokallio designed especially for the Cardboard & Sun 2013 event in Paros, Greece. In this card-driven cooperative game, the players together guide the courageous but gravely outnumbered Spartan army against a superior force - the invading Persians. The Spartans decide to meet the enemy at the Thermopyles pass and try to withstand their attack there.
