  Cleruchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cleruchy, in Hellenic Greece, was a specialised type of colony established by Athens.
Cleruchies were established as a means of exporting excess and generally impoverished populations to conveniently distant localities, such as the Thracian Chersonese on the far side of the Aegean Sea.
The first known cleruchy is thought to have been Salamis, captured by Athens from Megara in the 6th century BC.

 Rules of Cleruchy
When a cleruchy is formed, the founding player is credited with 1 point, a measure of the gain in territory under this player's control.
An opponent cleruchy is considered occupied if the other player places two of his or her own cleruchies on opposite sides of the enemy colony, forming a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line out of the three pieces.
The winner is the side with the most points, or, equivalently, the most cleruchies on the board under his or her control.

A secondary object of the cleruchies was social or agrarian, to provide a source of livelihood to the poorer Athenians.
Plutarch (Pericles, 11) suggests that Pericles by this means rid the city of the idle and mischievous loafers; but it would appear that the cleruchs were selected by lot, and in any case a wise policy would not deliberately entrust important military duties to recognized wastreis.
