About this game

Attila: Scourge O'God is a two-player, strategic-level wargame that simulates the Hun invasion of the Western Roman Empire in AD 451-52. One player commands the Romans and their allies, while the other commands the Huns and their allies. For the most part the Hun is on the offensive, trying to overthrow the empire by pillaging as many provinces and cities as possible, while the Roman player operates to try to thwart that effort.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
