It's Olympic gamers year. Brutus plans to be a sporting star at the Olympics, marry lovely Greek Princess Irina and then overthrow Julius Caesar. But the young Gaul Lovesix is madly in love with Irina too. Asterix and Obelix promise to help him win at the Games - the question is, how? It would be cheating to use magic potion. They must think of something else entirely in order to win the day, and the Princess's heart.

The twelfth album chronicling the much-loved adventures of Asterix and friends. A special edition with new cover art by Albert Uderzo.
