Description
Taifa is a game of medieval politics and warfare, where 2 to 6 players take on the roles of leaders of Christian and Muslim Kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. The goal is simple: expand your kingdom through a combination of clever intrigue and strategic conquest. With easy-to-learn rules, players can dive right into the action, using area movement, campaign and battle cards, and dice rolling to outmaneuver their opponents. As you navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries, you'll need to balance short-term gains with long-term strategy, all while adapting to the unpredictable nature of dice rolls and card draws. With its unique blend of medieval politics and wargame elements, Taifa offers a thrilling experience that's equal parts brainy and brutal. First published in 1998, this classic game has been designed by Victor Catala, Alex Folch, and Nacho Torres, and has stood the test of time as a compelling and immersive experience for gamers of all skill levels. Whether you're a fan of historical strategy or just looking for a fun and challenging game to play with friends, Taifa is an excellent choice.
