Agathocles 312 BC is a two players scenario on the war between Syracuse and Carthage for the control of Sicilia between 312 and 305 BC. The scenario lasts 14 turns (between 312 and 305 BC), each turn being the equivalent of six months.The Syracuse player always plays first, followed by the Carthaginian player.

The goal of Syracuse consists in capturing the whole island of Sicilia, or to take Carthage.
The objective of the Carthaginians is to repell their enemy, thanks to their powerful navy, their mercenaries and their Greek allies in Sicilia.

Forces of the two opponents are rather similar in terms of naval assets and availability of mercenaries, but

• Carthage has more human and financial means,  
• even if the terrible tyrant Agathocles from Syracuse is a better military leader.

Event cards will allow the various games to unfold differently, as they represent the various diplomatic, military, political or economic changes that can occur during the course of time.
