Gameplay

The setting for this wargame was medieval times.[4] In each game, ten players on an island led villages with the title of Baron.[1] Games occurred on separate islands, with names such as "Farraheim, Andarmark, Jiborokwi, Gizzenole, Karandala, and Raksharan".[5] Players could conduct four actions per turn, which included activities such as "forestry, herding, mining, weapons making, armor making, siege equipment making, refining, ditch repairing, or wall repairing".[1] Combat involved sending armies from villages and laying siege to another village or battling another army. Various tactics were available.[1] Movement occurred on a hex map of ten miles per hex.[2]

Victory was achieved by conquering three villages or "kill[ing] the most enemy warriors" by game's end.[1] Games lasted 25 weeks.[1] Winners began the next game as a Count (and played it for free).[1] A game ending in 1985 on the island of Matafunda was the first to end before 25 weeks as a player conquered a third city.[6]

Reception

Bob McLain, editor of Gaming Universal, stated that the game was "tailor made for battle lovers and armchair generals".[2]
