About

The main object of this history-based simulation board game is to control as many battle positions as possible. Procurement of all necessary resources is ultimately determined by a roll of the dice. Use the resources allotted to you to build roads and castles, or to strengthen your military. Instead of a good war strategy, your management of resources is what actually determines whether you win or lose.
