Hektor und Achill
is an exciting cardgame for 2 players in the times chanted by Homer. One player leads the Trojan army, the other the Achean army. In a series of battles they try to beat each other. Heroes of the Iliad are helping them achieving this aim. 

The main characteristic of the game is that a participant to the battle can retreat, forfeiting all the cards he has played so far, but avoiding to lose his whole hand. Of course, it is a shameful act to retreat in the face of the enemy. Therefore the retreating player gets a shame marker for his dishonorable behavior.
