After the Second World War, Greece became one of the first battlefields between the two super powers the United States and the Soviet Union who were wrestling for ideological domination. In 1947, the Truman Doctrine provided American aid to Greece to help contain communism. Greece was in the midst of a civil war between communist fighters and the Government army supported by a coalition of right-wing and centrist forces. Greek Tragedy recreates this conflict in a team card driven format.
