Siegecraft

Siegecraft is a quick two-player, asymmetric, dice allocation game - available as a print-and-play game from July 2012.

Players take the role of either attacker or defender of a medieval castle. Over the course of five turns, players roll dice representing their available troops and decide whether to allocate them directly to the conflict on the walls or send them to man siege engines and defences - including boiling oil, battering rams and ballistae.

The game is simple to learn and quick to play but presents players with interesting and varied challenges.

Players can get the rules and board below, in Files. They will also need 35 D6s (20 for the attacker and 15 for the defender).
