Hoplites

Great way to waste time!

A computer game that plays out like a card game but as far as I know it's only available on-line. Still not a bad game.

The adaptation of the Great Battles of History series to the card game format works well.

Card wargame which abstracts the Great Battles of History system further. Probably more interesting if you're already into that. It seems you can easily end up pitting uneven forces against each other.

Strangely, earlier versions were better than the finished product.

Satisfying, although many of the armies are unbalanced. Sometimes it can bog down when terrain is in effect -- no pun intended.
