Description

Scotland the Brave is a game of medieval warfare and strategy, where two players take on the roles of William Wallace and King Edward of England, vying for control of southern Scotland. The game is set in the late 13th century, during the opening of the Scottish War for Independence, and simulates the first two years of the conflict. With easy-to-learn rules, players can dive right into the action, navigating the complexities of grid movement, dice rolling, and event management to outmaneuver their opponent. As players compete to gain the assistance of Scottish nobles and control key towns, the game introduces randomness through Strategy Markers, adding a layer of unpredictability to the gameplay. The goal is not just to win battles, but to use them as a means to an end, with the ultimate objective of controlling the towns and emerging victorious. With a playtime of 120 to 240 minutes, Scotland the Brave offers a immersive and challenging experience for fans of medieval warfare and strategy games. Designed by William Sariego and first published in 1998, this game has been refined and updated, featuring a mounted mapsheet and new rules, making it a great choice for those looking for a engaging and historic gaming experience.
