INTRODUCTION 2 Player card & dice game. Simulation of the Hundred Years War 1337-1453 One player is the English, the other is the French. GAME LENGTH The game lasts 50 turns (It was a long war) Each turn represents 2-3 years. TERRITORY TOKENS There are 10 Territory Tokens (TT). Each player starts the game with 5 Territory Tokens. VICTORY If you ever control all 10 Territory Tokens, you automatically win. At the end of the game, if you control more TT than your opponent, you win. THE DECKS There are 2 common decks: The Event Deck The Resource Deck DICE Six sided dice are needed. SETUP Each player draws 5 cards from the Resource Deck. The English Player goes first. TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. The current player is also called the Active player or the Attacker. The other player is the defender. Each Turn has 7 Phases: Resource Phase Recruit Phase Hostility Phase Sea Battle Phase Land Battle Phase Victory Phase Passage Phase RESOURCE PHASE Each player draws 1 card from the Resource Deck and puts them in their hand. If the deck ever runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. RECRUIT PHASE Players may put Armies, Fleets, and Leader cards face-up into play. A Player may have a maximum of 2 Leaders in play at a time. HOSTILITY PHASE The current player draws 1 Event card. Follow the instructions on the card. If the card is a “Negate” card skip to Passage Phase. If the card is a “Hostility” card go to Sea Battle Phase. If the deck ever runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. SEA BATTLE PHASE Skip this Phase (go to Land Battle Phase) if each player does not have 5 Territory Tokens. The active player is invading by sea. Each player rolls 2D6 and adds 1 for each Leader and Fleet card they have in play. Players may also add 1 for each Strategy card they play (discard). The winner is the player with the highest total. Defender wins ties. The loser discards all his Fleet cards. If the Defender wins, skip to Passage Phase. If the attacker wins, go to Land Phase. LAND BATTLE PHASE Each player rolls 2D6 and adds 1 for each Leader and Army card they have in play. Players may also add 1 for each Strategy card they play (discard). The winner is the player with the highest total. Defender wins ties. The loser discards all his Army cards. If the Defender wins, skip to Passage Phase. If the attacker wins, go to Victory Phase. VICTORY PHASE If the Attacker won in Land Battle Phase, he may take a Territory Token from his opponent. If the attacker plays (discards) a Great Victory card, he may take an Additional TT.

SOLO RULES per Ron Pehr have one side drawing/discarding randomly (probably the French) or even according to some sort of formula (E.g. "Draw one resource for each token over 5 you have"); or for that matter just play both sides, leaving the other's cards face down as you pick for the active side. CARDLIST AVAILABLE!!! Thanks Alex!
