The dark monsters of Greek mythology have gathered for one final assault on Mount Olympus. The Greek gods are prepared to defend their sacred ground. Who will prevail in this decisive battle of blood and ichor?

Ichor is an asymmetric strategy game for two players by Reiner Knizia. In this mythological battle of wits, one player controls the Greek gods while the other controls the Greek monsters. On your turn, you move one of your figures in a straight line as far as you wish, leaving behind a trail of your tokens on each space you pass over. You can never move onto or over a space containing another figure, but you can replace opposing tokens with your own. The first player to get all of their tokens on the board wins.

Each figure possesses a unique ability that can be used only once per game. Thus, the winner will be the one who best leverages their abilities, sets themself up for big plays, and blocks their opponent from doing the same.

  • Compete head-to-head in this strategy game with asymmetric character abilities.
  • Maneuver your characters around the board, block your opponent, and race to place all of your tokens on the spaces you move over.
  • Activate each unique, one-time-use character power at the opportune moment to gain the upper hand in the battle.
  • Enjoy a variable board setup and simple gameplay with tough decisions on every turn.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The asymmetric god powers make every matchup feel different, and I love that the monsters get their own escalation deck. Took us two games to grasp the blood mechanic, but now it's the first thing we reach for on game night.

Thomas B. ★★★★★

My group played this for three hours straight and nobody wanted to stop. The tug-of-war between the gods and the monsters keeps every round tense, and the art on the cards really pulls you into the Mount Olympus theme.

Hannah ★★★★★

The back-and-forth on the battlefield board keeps every round tense right up to the last monster placement. My group played three games in one sitting because nobody wanted to stop after losing to the gods.
