Verrix is a board game released in 2022 for 2–5 players, 60–150 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Tommaso Roberto Ceglia and Riccardo Corti and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Trading.
Verrix (ancient Gaelic for King of Kings) is management, strategic, historical boardgame with great player interaction, asymmetrical, and with the main mechanic based on card hand management plus a small deck-building component. Set in Britannia in 54 B.C., the player leads a Celtic tribe with the goal of reaching the highest possible level of Fame, accumulating victory points over 12 turns (Celtic Calendar). Each player will have different characteristics depending on the type of tribe he chooses to use, he can select the tribe with a specific inclination (Craftsmanship, Trade, Mysticism, Raid, Battle), the starting region and during the game: increase the population, promote a member of the tribe to the leader and increase the number of Action Cards in their possession. There are several ways to earn points. You can earn points by playing Action Cards that reflect the Celtic character of your tribe, or by earning the favor of the Gods on the 4 main festivals of the Celtic calendar, or by winning battles in the best Celtic way.
Verrix supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Verrix is 60–150 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Verrix for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Verrix has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
