Titan (1980)

Titan is a fantasy board game for two to six players, designed by Jason B. McAllister and David A. Trampier. The game was first published in 1980 by Gorgonstar and later by Avalon Hill before going out of print in 1998. A new edition of the game, produced by Canadian publisher Valley Games, became available in late 2008.The game is popular and significant due to its unique blend of mythology and strategy. Each player controls an army of mythological creatures such as gargoyles, unicorns, and griffons, led by a single titan. The titan is analogous to the king in chess, and the death of a titan eliminates that player and their entire army from the game. The player controlling the last remaining titan wins the game.
