Who Will Rule Britian?
Published almost 2 decades ago, the classic war game finally returns! Take on the role of 17 ancient civilizations vying for control of historic Great Britain. Will the nations submit to the mighty Roman Empire or will they be driven them back to the sea? Cunning strategy & history itself will play roles in this battle for political and territorial dominance.
Featuring revised and updated rules from the game’s original creator, Lewis E. Pulsipher Ph.D. Witness BRITANNIA like you’ve never seen it before with completely new graphics and streamlined game play.
Players
3-5. Each player takes on the role of several nations, each with their own period of dominance, special rules, and ways of scoring.
Gameplay
Each player controls several nations. Seventeen nations are included in the game, each representing a people that lived in or invaded Britain between 43 A.D. and 1085 A.D. All 17 nations are not in play at the same time. Instead, only six nations are in play at the beginning of the game; others enter, and in some cases leave, the game at specific times, reflecting known historic events. For example, the Romans begin the game prepared to invade from Gaul across the English Channel, simulating the Roman invasion of 43 A.D., and later leave the game after the fifth round of play, reflecting the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 4th century. Similarly, many nations have leaders – such as Arthur or Cnut – who enter the game at historically appropriate times. At different points in the game, players will control different nations, which will each have different leaders and different objectives.
The players’ goal is to win the game by claiming the most victory points. Players gain victory points mainly by using their nations to occupy specified areas on the map at specified times, as instructed by each nation’s Nation Card. To occupy territory, nations may have to have to engage in battle against other nations. Some nations can also gain victory points in other ways: For example, the Romans and the Angles gain points if other nations submit to their rule, while other nations can gain points if their ruler becomes Bretwalda (overlord) or King.
