Conquest of Speros (2015)

About this game

Speros — a rich and beautiful land embroiled in a twenty-year war, a long-running dispute for territory and control of its valuable resources. In Conquest of Speros, a quick playing game of area control and resource domination, four competing races work to exercise their dominance over the landscape and to control the export of iron, crystal and gold while also securing ownership of the powerful Ancient Artifacts buried from long ago. You lead a general and his minions. Your mission: Secure the land and destroy anything that gets in your way.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
