## Description
Get ready to travel back in time and relive one of history's most intense moments: the Battle of Hastings in 1066! If you enjoy tactical card games but don't want to waste hours building a complex deck, 1066, Tears to Many Mothers is for you. Forget time-consuming deck building; the action starts as soon as you shuffle your pre-set deck and dive into the fray. You'll command one of the sides—the Normans or the Saxons—in an asymmetric struggle where every card is inspired by real figures or events from that chaotic era.

The theme is heavy and masterfully woven. The title itself refers to Halley's Comet, which appeared that year and was seen as a terrible omen of destruction. The game captures that sense of urgency and imminent destiny perfectly. It's a fast-paced, strategic card combat that echoes the feel of games like Magic: The Gathering, but without the collectability aspect, focusing entirely on conflict resolution and hand management to overcome battlefield obstacles. It is a duel of wits and timing, perfect for those seeking a compact, quick, and historically rich wargame without the setup hassle. If you love straightforward strategy games that don't skimp on powerful historical narratives, this is your match!
