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 Anjevin armies, and storm strongholds loyal to Matilda with their own crafted siege weapons. The player who can accumulate the most Bravery, Loyalty, Influence and Might, whilst avoiding Discontent, will prove to King Stephen they are his most loyal ally, granting them his largest earldom.
