Alexander the Great is a board wargame first published in 1971 by Guidon Games. Printed when board wargaming was relatively new this game was designed by Gary Gygax. When Guidon went out of business Avalon Hill contacted Gygax to secure an agreement to revise and publish the game and working with Donald Greenwood the game was published again in 1974.The game recreates the ancient battle at Gaugamela in 331 BC between the Macedonians and the Persians.
