The Anarchy
In stock at the following stores: Games København
At the end of 1135, Henry I, King of England, died unexpectedly, leaving no male heir to rule in his place. Henry's daughter, Empress Matilda, believed she should rule by right of succession. The late king's favourite nephew, Stephen de Blois, however, reached the throne more quickly 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 saw a breakdown of law and order as civil war spread across the whole country. This conflict became known as The Anarchy...
In The Anarchy, the players take the role of English nobles loyal to King Stephen. Over five rounds, the players must build up their domain, defend their castle against attacks from the approaching Angevin armies and storm fortresses loyal to Matilda with siege weapons of their own making. The player who can gather the most courage, loyalty, influence and power, while avoiding discontent, will prove to King Stephen that they are his most loyal ally and so earn his greatest earldom.
This game is the successor to Hadrians Wall.
