About the game

What is Barony

In Barony, players are ambitious barons trying to extend their dominion over the land! Who will succeed and become the new king?

At the beginning of the game, players create the board at random with nine tiles per player; each tile comprises three hexagons, with each hexagon being one of five landscape types: forest, plains, field, mountain, lake. Players then each place three cities on the game board, with a knight in each city. They then take turns in clockwise order, with each player taking exactly one action from the six possible actions:

Recruitment: Add two knights to a city, or three knights if the city is adjacent to a lake.

Movement: Move one or two of your knights one space each. A knight can't enter a lake (blub), a mountain with an opposing pawn, or any space with an opponent's city or stronghold or two knights of the same opposing color. If you move a second knight into a space with an opposing pawn or village, remove those tokens and take one resource from the village owner.

Really fun and dinamic! Everything goes crazy by the end of the game where there are plenty of minis all over the terrains.

Sentencia_JG10/10

2-4 J. (4 mejor). (23-agosto-2024) Juego tenso, bastante táctico pero con estrategia a medio plazo y muy interactivo. Es tan importante construir como atacar y defender. Sin ningún azar.
