5th century BC. The Persian Empire, vast and relentless, casts its shadow over the shores of the Aegean. The Greek poleis — proud but divided by ancient rivalries — face a choice that will shape the history of the West: surrender or resist.

The enemy is superior in numbers, wealth and resources — yet there is one weapon the Persians do not possess: knowledge, cunning, insight.

Persianis in Fabula is a game of knowledge, bluff and deduction set during the Persian Wars: a journey through heroes, battles and betrayals where every answer can shift the tide of war.

At the start of the game each player draws a secret Character Card — Greek or Persian. The Greeks earn points by answering Question Cards correctly and try to unmask the spies; the Persians sabotage the turns with deceptive hints, and every wrong answer adds to their score. The faction of the player with the highest score wins.
