A narrative-driven skirmish game set in the Viking Age and early medieval period, where every battle tells a story. "Protect the village. Or burn it to the ground." Will you stand your ground, defending your people, treasures, and livestock from invading raiders? Or will you storm the enemy s lands, loot their riches, and set fire to everything in your path? Pillage throws you into the heart of the action—climb, swim, fight, and make every decision count. Sequence of play A game of Pillage is divided into game turns, themselves divided into 5 phases: Initiative phase Movement phase Shooting phase Close combat phase Fire phase These phases are alternated: the player who has the initiative at the start of the turn will therefore play each phase first (player A does his movement phase, player B his movement phase, player A his shooting phase, player B his shooting phase, etc.). This avoids the pitfall of endless game turns waiting for your opponent to complete all his actions. Factions: 7 factions are available directly in the rulebook: Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Franks, Normans, Bretons, Irish/Picts/Scots and Welsh! Other factions are already available as free downloads from the Pillage website: the Rus/Var gues, the Magyars and the Byzantines! —description from the publisher
