“Drop the phone. Pick up the dice.”
Eight asymmetric factions, a board you rebuild every game, and objectives nobody else can see. Conquest gets you there. Objectives win it.
The old kingdoms wore themselves out. What was left of them broke into factions, leaderless, each one plundering the next to feed a war nobody remembered starting.
Then word came back from the western folds. There was land out past the edge of the maps. Good land. Empty land.
Eight factions are on the road there now, and you are one of them. Every one of them arrives with a claim on the ground you're standing on.
And what about you? Are you the one spoken of so long ago? Ah, but your story is not yet written. However, I'll be sure to tell the tales of your great deeds in the ages to come.
Eight asymmetric factions, hidden objectives, and a board you rebuild every game. Gather resources, craft an army, and take ground. And then discover that the player who conquers the most is usually not the one who wins.

The complete game. Eight asymmetric factions for 2 to 4 players.
8 double-sided tiles: desert on one side, winter on the other.
One objective card, one action card. Three objectives and two actions in hand at most. Skipped on turn one.
Lift each peasant off its settlement and take what that settlement yields. Coins come from every settlement you own or occupy, peasant or not.
Spend resources and coin on soldiers, settlements and ammo. A Tier 1 soldier costs you a peasant as well, and it's the same peasant that was working your land last turn, which is the squeeze the whole game runs on: every soldier you put in the field is a field you stop farming.
Deploy beside your settlements, roll the movement die, strike. Attack and defense dice settle it; ties go to the defender, who may counter-attack. Claim any objective you finished this turn.
Peasants go back out. You can never leave a settlement empty while holding one. That ends your turn, and sets next turn's harvest.
Steps III and IV are optional, and you may work them in any order. Finishing your last objective triggers the final round. It doesn't win. Whoever has the most objective points at the end wins.

Farms, Quarries and Villages.
Your win condition, and nobody else can see it.
Each one starts you with different stock and a different perk.
Double sided, which is why no two boards start the same.
Six attack, six defense, one movement.
The base game plays 2 to 4. The Extra Players Expansion takes it to 6.
