Huns

In the winter of 453, the Hunnic Empire reigns supreme over much of the known world, but the Great Khan is ailing, and many ambitious generals dream of taking his place. In Huns, you are one of these generals, seeking to prove your worth to become the Khan's successor. The game combines dice drafting with resource and card management, all set within this universe of mighty warriors.

Each turn, you choose between two main actions: raiding for resources or taking cards with special abilities. The game features five distinct colored card decks, representing equipment, raids, mercenaries, curses, and treasures, as well as goods cubes in the same five colors. At the start of each round, the active player rolls five three-sided dice (d3), one of each color. Then, they choose one die and decide whether to take cubes or cards of that color. If choosing cards, they draw 1 to 3 (depending on the die roll), keep one, and place the others face down under the deck. Equipment offers ongoing bonuses, raids have one-time effects, treasures grant end-game points if their conditions are met, mercenaries provide reusable effects once paid with goods, and curses are played on opponents, who must spend goods to dispel them. If choosing cubes, you can use them to pay mercenaries, remove curses, or fill your wagons, which require specific colors. Upon completing a wagon, you draw a new one. Players take turns choosing a die until all are used. The game ends when one cube color or one card deck is depleted. Points are tallied for raids undertaken, treasures collected, mercenaries paid off, and wagons delivered, and whoever has the most points becomes the new Khan!
