| Welcome to a land of sweeping history. Welcome to a land
that the Romans, the Angles, the Saxons, and a dozen other peoples warred
over for a thousand years. Welcome to the land of King Arthur, Alfred the
Great, Harald the Ruthless, and William the Conqueror. Welcome to
Britannia.
BRITANNIA is an historical board game that broadly depicts the
millennia-long struggle for control of England, Scotland, and Wales. The
game begins with the Roman invasion of 43 A.D., continues through the many
struggles between Angles, Saxons, Picts, Norsemen, Scots, Irish, and other
tribes, and ends with the Norman invasion of 1066. BRITANNIA allow
players to re-create this epic history, re-enacting important battles in
some cases, altering the course of history in others. The game rules
discourage players from making historically unrealistic moves, but also
give players the freedom to alter Great Britain’s history in important
ways, creating countless interesting “what if?” scenarios. What if
Boudicca’s Revolt against the Romans had been more successful? What if
the Romans and the Romano-British had repelled the Saxon invasions of the
5th and 6th centuries?
What if William the Conqueror had died during the Norman invasion of 1066?
In BRITANNIA, the players will determine the destiny of a kingdom.
