About the game
It’s 60 AD and the Romans have already spread across what we now call Britain, holding a tense grip over the local tribes. When the Iceni king dies, Roman greed sparks a revolt led by Queen Boudica. The game places you at the heart of this conflict, letting you choose between the Roman might or the Iceni rebellion. The experience is asymmetrical: each faction has distinct goals and abilities, forcing players to adapt their strategies each turn. The Area Majority / Influence mechanic makes territory control decide who rules the region, while Variable Phase Order keeps the game unpredictable because the action sequence changes each game. The pieces are represented by 9 cards, making the game compact and ideal for 30‑to‑60‑minute sessions. The inspiration comes from the substantial COIN series by GMT, but it’s been adapted to the “Print & Play” mini‑game format, allowing you to print and play at home. The game is suitable for 1 to 4 players, including solo, as player‑power mechanics let one player assume multiple factions. Overall, the blend of history, influence mechanics, and the option to play solo makes this mini‑game a fun pick for fans of historical battles and quick strategic decisions.
