Description

Crusader Rex is a game of medieval warfare, where two players take on the roles of the Christian Franks and the Muslim Saracens, vying for control of the Holy Land. The game is set in the Middle East, with a board that stretches from Antioch to Egypt, and players must navigate the challenges of siege warfare, knight charges, and other historical tactics to emerge victorious. As you play, you'll be immersed in the theme and historical flavor of the game, with figures like Richard the Lionheart and Saladin making appearances. With a playtime of 180 minutes, Crusader Rex is a substantial game that requires strategy and skill, but is still accessible to players familiar with board games. The game's unique mechanics, including secret unit deployment and simultaneous action selection, add a layer of depth and complexity that will keep you engaged until the very end.
