The most useful rules for getting a first game right.
Sellswords is described as a tile-placement game. Players place tiles (representing sellswords/mercenary warriors) onto a shared play area according to placement rules. The core mechanic revolves around where and how tiles are placed on the battlefield.
Sellswords: Olympus is a standalone sequel to the original Sellswords tile-placement game. It can be played entirely on its own or mixed together with the original Sellswords game. When mixed, cards and tiles from both sets are combined into a single pool for play.
In Sellswords: Olympus, the gods have gone to war. Players lead skilled warriors (heroes) who rally from across the land. These heroes are opposed by magical beasts and monsters from myth. The goal is to lead your heroes to victory and become the champion of Olympus.
Because Sellswords: Olympus can be mixed with the original game, players seeking greater variety or a larger tile pool should combine both sets. This introduces hero tiles alongside mythological beast/monster tiles, broadening strategic options on the battlefield.
