About the game
Play as the general of a bronze age army and fight an epic battle - move, attack and destroy your enemy on the battlefield encircled by terrain. You begin by creating the game area, then draw and deploy warrior unit cards to intercept opposing army’s formations and take turns moving or attacking. When attacking, roll a die to score damage and cross off health boxes, until the unit is destroyed (removed from game area). To win, eliminate all your opponent’s units from the battlefield! —description from the designer
