About the game
Hell Hath No Fury is a strategic simulation for two-players which recreates the revolt of the Iceni (and other tribes) against the Romans in Britain in 60 AD. One player controls the rebel British tribes under command of their warrior-queen Boudica. The other player controls the Roman occupation forces. The winner of the game must demoralize their opponent, by killing their leaders, occupying certain map areas or, for the rebel player, rally additional tribes to their cause.
