Description
In Wallguards of the East Empire you and up to three friends (or just you, if you fancy a solo challenge) take charge of gritty medieval strongholds, scrambling to recruit troops, stockpile supplies and roll the dice for daring raids. The game blends deck, bag and pool‑building tricks with variable player powers, so every commander feels distinct and the strategy never gets stale. In about an hour to an hour‑and‑half you’ll be shuffling cards, tossing dice, and managing a growing pool of resources while trying to keep the empire’s walls standing against relentless threats. Designed by S J Macdonald and Shem Phillips, the rules sit at a comfortable “normal” complexity—board‑game veterans will pick it up fast, but it’s still welcoming enough for newcomers who love a good medieval showdown. Whether you’re battling friends or going solo, the mix of luck, tactics and ever‑shifting options makes every game feel like a fresh siege.
