Gallia Cisalpina, a tactics game for 2 players from 10 years, is game No. 8 of the series “Die Kleinen Feinen”.
In 396 BC, the Celts set out to conquer the lands south of the Alps, but the Romans are also fighting for supremacy. Defences are set up in a hurry to protect agriculture and ensure the supply of the warriors. But the enemy is also armed.
Only 12 cards form the landscape, on which the enemy troops stand in the form of dice.
In his turn, each player has three opportunities. He is allowed to recruit up to 3 new warriors in his own capital, he can build (or destroy) defences in occupied areas - for this, the corresponding card is reversed and 2 warriors are reduced to pawns – and, of course, he can move the troops and attack the enemy.
The game principle is straightforward and intuitive and also suitable for casual players as an entry-level tactics game.
