Pillards de Scythie

Travel and plunder the ancient empires on horseback!

Centuries ago, the Greek, Persian and Assyrian empires controlled vast stretches of land and possessed enormous wealth. Yet despite their fortifications and imposing armies, rumors began to spread about a formidable enemy in the lands above the Black Sea. They came on horseback. Fierce warriors, men and women alike. Skilled with sword, axe or bow. But they were not mindless savages.

Their craftsmen were renowned for their ability to make detailed gold objects. They made leather armor and curved bows. They trained eagles for hunting and warfare. Some even think they inspired the Greek tales of the Amazons. But they were more than a legend or a fable: they were the pillagers of Scythia.

Victory points are earned by attacking colonies, looting and completing quests. Players will need to build a crew, train animals and gather supplies. The game ends when only 2 colonies or 2 quests remain unlooted on the main board.
