Table feel

Conquest has a high level of direct confrontation and strategic depth, with frequent interaction among players. However, it does not emphasize cooperation as much.

Replay value

Conquest offers a high level of variability with its gameboard, multiple paths to victory, and variable setups. The presence of expansions adds new content and gameplay elements, enhancing replay value. The game provides deep strategic possibilities and room for improvement over time. Player interaction is moderate, and the game scales well with different numbers of players. While it may take some time to learn, the depth it offers makes it worth the investment. Overall, Conquest has a strong replayability score of 7.77.

Luck profile

Conquest has a moderate level of luck involved in the game. Random elements such as dice rolls or card draws have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. Players have some ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is a balanced mix of luck and strategy, with neither element dominating. Overall, Conquest offers a good balance between luck and player agency.

Overview

Conquest was designed to be a diceless wargame. Its latest version updates the original with plastic units and a colorful map. Set in ancient times, Conquest has players utilizing troops, cavalry, chariots, elephants and ships to try to capture their opponents' fortifications or occupy the "quest" locations. The map is designed for point-to-point movement, and play hinges on a pool of action points that each side uses to move its different units. Conquest comes in two versions, one designed for four players and one designed exclusively for two.
