Description:
At the end of 1135, Henry I, king of England died unexpectedly leaving no male heir to reign in his stead. Henry’s daughter, Empress Matilda, believed she should rule by succession. However, the late king’s favourite nephew, Stephen de Blois, was quicker to the throne, and with the help of his brother, the Bishop of Winchester, was crowned king. Those loyal to the empress were enraged by Stephen’s coronation and would not accept him as their new ruler. Over the next 18 years, England saw a breakdown in law and order as civil war spread throughout the country. This conflict came to be known as The Anarchy...
In The Anarchy, players take on the role of English nobles loyal to King Stephen. Over five rounds, players must build their domain, defend their castle from attacks by the approaching Anjevin armies, and storm strongholds loyal to Matilda with their own crafted siege weapons. The player who can accumulate the most Bravery, Loyalty, Influence and Might, whilst avoiding Discontent, will prove to King Stephen they are his most loyal ally, granting them his largest earldom.
Features:
- Build your domain, defend your castle, and storm enemy strongholds!
- Constant combos and chaining of actions create a fun and engaging experience!
- Includes a 20-chapter Solo campaign that adds in even more unique cards and rules!
- Fans of Hadrian’s Wall will find this game takes everything that was great about that game and ramps it all up another level in The Anarchy!
