1066, Tears To Many Mothers

Manufacturer:

Hall or Nothing Productions

A promise has been made and broken, an evil omen is in the sky, a crown is at stake, and history is about to be made. It is April 1066 and Harold Godwinson, King of England, faces a deadly challenge from Duke William of Normandy. William believes that Harold has broken his solemn oath by claiming the English crown, and the matter must be settled by force, in a battle the likes of which the world has never seen.

1066, Tears to Many Mothers is an asymmetrical, competitive, and non-collectible card game of tactics and war. From award-winning game designer Tristan Hall, this 1-2 player game recreates the momentous events of that seismic year in British history. Each player, as either Normans or Saxons, musters troops and resources to overcome the various obstacles in their way before the two armies clash on the battlefield at Hastings.

Will you rally your Saxon forces to defend the English crown from the invading Norman heathens? Or will you muster papal support and have your Norman army crusade against the usurper Saxons?
