(GAME SUMMARY)
|
|
|
| Drake says: "Albion is what the Celts used to call England. This fascinating game recreates the conquest and defence of ancient Albion. The game focuses on clever decisions on the order of development: More movement, more resources, better defences, or more patricians and legionaries? You will need all of these, but what to choose at any one point? The first player to own 3 fully developed settlements wins the game."

Description:
Being almost at the top of its power, the Roman Empire plans to conquer the British Isles, also known as Albion in those times.
To be successful in the game, the players have to cleverly choose their settlements, castles and fortifications as well as carefully plan the development of these. They have to balance the different resources, their defence and the number of nobles and legionnaires. In fact, all of those are necessary, but the different choices have to be carefully timed.
The game is won by the player who accomplishes to fully develop three settlements.
