Lead a Scythian warband to recruit a crew, stock provisions, and raid fortified settlements to claim the most plunder and glory.

Gameplay

Place workers to take board actions for resources and recruits, then roll dice and spend strength to raid settlements and complete quests for points. The tension is racing for the best targets while balancing risk, injuries, and the opportunity cost of every action space.
