A Compoperative™ Strategy Board Game
The Trojan War Begins Anew
War rises. Greek ships approach. The gods stir. The walls tremble.
Will you defend the gates of Troy? Or strike first with the fury of Greece?
Defend Troy is a myth-inspired, card-driven strategy board game set during the siege of Troy. Our unique compoperative™ (competitive + cooperative) gameplay allows you to play three different modes, with your opponent being other players or The Fates: a fixed intelligence following divine patterns beyond your control.
1) Cooperatively with 1-5 players as the Trojans against the game-controlled Greeks,
2) Cooperatively with 1-5 players as the Greeks against the game-controlled Trojans, or
3) Competitively with 1-5 players as the Trojans against 1-5 players as the Greeks.

About Tolarian Games Co.
We’re a father-and-son team—both named Eric—who’ve spent a lifetime around the gaming table, rolling dice, flipping cards, and debating rules late into the night. Defend Troy is the result of years of shared passion, too many mythological rabbit holes, and a lot of prototypes scattered across the kitchen.
By day, one Eric is a statistician and the game’s architect—meticulously designing systems, mechanics, and rules. The other is a lawyer, which makes him exceptionally good at challenging those rules (and occasionally trying to rewrite them mid-game). We founded Tolarian Games to create immersive, intelligent, and mythically grounded games that bring people together (and occasionally spark epic rivalries). Our goal is simple: build the games we’ve always wanted to play—and invite you to the table.
