Diex Aïe (2014)

About this game

Diex Aïe ("This Is God's Will" in Latin, the warcry of the Duke of Normandy) is set in England just after the battle of Hastings in the second half of the 11th Century. It depicts the numerous fights that Saxons fought to limit the "Norman Yoke". Diex Aïe introduces a campaign game system: It is used to generate tactical scenarios which are played on the tactical maps of the Game: Cry Havoc System. Diex Aïe is the first companion game to the popular Guiscard game. Like this one, DIEX AÏE is a complete boxed set with counters, maps, rules, scenarios and play sheets.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
