Each brick is one of Alexander's battles or sieges. Bounce the ball off Alexander's shield bar to smash them all.

Miss the ball and Alexander is wounded, just as he was many times in real life. A third wound and history changes: you lose.

For the teacher

The bricks are laid out in time order: the top row is 338–334 BC (Greece and the start of the Persian war), and the bottom row is 327–325 BC (Central Asia and India). When a brick breaks, the Campaign Log tells what happened there. The point to bring home: Alexander was wounded again and again, but he never lost a battle. Only the player can lose this one.
