The much-loved historical board game Britannia returns – now published by PSC Games! This edition includes over 200 beautifully sculpted plastic miniatures and two ways to play: Classic Britannia (traditional play for 4 gamers on the standard board) and Duel Britannia (faster play for 2 gamers on a new board).
Britannia allows players to recreate the turbulent history of Britain from the coming of the Romans (AD 43) to conquest by the Normans (AD 1085). Each player controls several tribes and leaders including the Angles, Saxons, Irish, Norsemen, Danes, Boudicca, King Arthur, Offa, and many other recognisable names from British history. The power of each tribe will rise and fall as the game progresses through the centuries, so players must work out when to expand and when to consolidate each.
Classic Britannia plays in the way all Britannia fans know and love, benefiting from Lew Pulsipher’s continued development and player feedback. Duel Britannia is a new, fast-playing adaptation for two players, on a new board including Ireland.

Rating only for the Duel part. Nice streamlined Duell version - britannia in a nut shell. I even belive the combat system with 2 hit points and 2 dice for each unit to be supirior to the old version.

A more elaborate version of Risk. I might be a little simplistic but the rule overhead make it hard to play occasionally. Only recommended for those who are interested in the history of Britain invasions and willing to put in enough plays to learn the game.

I feel my rating of 7 is quite high for this game but I love it. It takes a very long time to play and there’s not a lot of differences between games, you’re recreating the history of Britain so the gameplay is very similar. But yet I always have a laugh with the group that I play it with. (One time the Welsh got wiped on round one which was funny.)
