The Anarchy
In stock at the following stores: Games København
In late 1135, Henry I, King of England, died unexpectedly, leaving no male heir to rule in his place. Henry's daughter, Empress Matilda, believed that she should rule by succession. However, the late king's favorite nephew, Stephen de Blois, came to the throne sooner and, with the help of his brother, the Bishop of Winchester, was crowned king.
Those loyal to the Empress were furious at Stephen's coronation and would not accept him as their new ruler. Over the next eighteen years, England experienced a breakdown in law and order as civil war spread across the country. This conflict became 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 Angevin armies, and storm fortresses loyal to Matilda with their own crafted siege weapons. The player who can muster the most courage, loyalty, influence, and power – while avoiding discontent – will prove to King Stephen that they are his most loyal ally, and in doing so earn his greatest earldom.
This game is the sequel to Hadrian's Wall.
