Description

The Siege of Alesia: Gaul, 52 B.C. is a gripping board game that drops you into the midst of an epic ancient battle. Two players take on the roles of opposing forces, with 10 Roman legions laying siege to a Gallic force in Alesia, only to be surrounded themselves by a relieving Gallic force. This intense game is all about strategy and outmaneuvering your opponent, with a unique hexagon grid system and dice rolling mechanics that add an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability. As a game that's part of the Great Battles of History series, The Siege of Alesia offers a fresh take on the traditional set piece battle, focusing instead on the intricacies of siege warfare. With three different scenarios to play through and a gameplay system that allows for flexible, back-and-forth action, this game is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat for its entire 300-minute playtime.
