Product description
Nika is an abstract strategy game modeled after ancient Greek battle tactics. You command a Greek city’s hoplite soldiers who must force their way through enemy lines.
Your troops can push or rout those who would block their way across the narrow battlefield. Coordinate attacks with your ally to secure victory, but make sure to watch your flanks!
The Nika digital game is based on the award-winning board game designed by Josh Raab and published by Eagle Games. It takes minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. Perfect for both casual players and hardcore strategy gamers of all ages, Nika will provide countless hours of gameplay.

This game works well, I think I'm still having a hard time finding the best strategy to play this game well, but it is fun though a little challenging.
It's a good play and pass game that is easy to learn and be play many different ways it like it and it's sad to be the only person to review the game so far.
I think it's worth at least a try. The rules are pretty easy to pick up, but there are a lot of different ways to play, there really isn't a set strategy that guarantee's you a win.
I'd say maybe checkers, but with a lot more depth and a really cool Greek Phalanx game.
