As you play, you'll use dice rolling and navigate a hexagon grid to outmaneuver your opponent, whether you're leading the British forces or the Zulu warriors. The game starts off with a bang, giving the Zulus a chance to launch a surprise attack on the exposed British troops. But as the game heats up, the British will need to capture and burn down Zulu Kraals and ultimately track down and capture the Zulu leader, Cetshwayo, in order to emerge victorious. Meanwhile, the Zulus will be doing everything in their power to avoid these British victory conditions and come out on top. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Like Lions They Fought is a game that will keep you coming back for more.
