The great Lords of Scotland are restless as the throne is empty. With lands, men and money at your disposal, you, as one of Scotland's great Lords, think it's time to claim power, it's time to claim the throne. But be careful, you are not alone… The other Lords also seek power, they also seek to ascend to the throne. With the clans of Scotland ready to follow the strongest of leaders, it's up to you to earn their loyalty through your show of strength in battle.
THE Publisher Conclave bring to Brazil Lords of Scotland, a fun, fast paced and extremely strategic game by Richard James. In it you earn points by joining the sectarians to your cause, which they pledge after their victories in skirmishes against their opponents.
The skirmish takes place over five turns, where players have to recruit soldiers and make them followers of their army. At the end of the fifth turn, the player with the strongest army (with the highest score) wins the skirmish and attracts the most valuable cultist. But be careful, even though your opponent's army is apparently smaller, it can be more powerful if it's made up of soldiers from the same clan. And also be aware of the soldiers available to be recruited, as each one has its specific skill, which can be decisive for the victory of that skirmish.
At the end of the skirmish, all cards are discarded, except those in your hand, starting a new skirmish/round, in which the Lords will again have to recruit soldiers and make them become followers of their army. There is no set number of rounds for the end of the game, it happens when a player reaches 40 points in sectarians. Whoever has the most points in cultists will be crowned the new King of Scotland!
Lords of Scotland features design elements from the Three-Dragon Ante, Condottiere and Havoc: The Hundred Years War and takes place during the period of Scottish history in which the country struggles for independence. Be the lord who will ascend the throne of Scotland, be the most victorious lord in battles, be king!
