About the game
What you do in a play session
Havoc: The Hundred Years War is a card game that throws you into the chaos of the Hundred Years' War—no armor required. The goal is simple: recruit soldiers to form the best card sets (think poker, but with more swords and maybe a little bluffing... or not). Each skirmish is a chance to score victory points, and the Dogs of War step in to lend a hand—either by retrieving soldiers from the battlefield or grabbing extra resources. After 8 skirmishes, a final battle crowns a new king based on total points. It's fast, fun, and perfect for fans of strategy with a dash of luck and bluffing. Best part? Almost no text, so it's easy to teach and play with any group.
