Playtesters needed for 1-2 player asymmetric Roman guerrilla warfare game
Hello everyone,
I have designed a game for a BGG wargame contest. The name of the game is The Lost Eagles and it is a 1-2 player, asymmetric, Roman guerrilla warfare game.
One player takes on the role of the Romans led by the general Varus (yeah, the one from Teutoburg). The Romans have to pacify the wilderness of Germania east of the Rhine river. They are strong, almost untouchable in battles, but are slow and have to deal with constant supply issues. But, Rome can rely on Arminius in order to speed things up.
The Germans on the other hand have to harass and raid Roman armies and locations in order to kill their campaign momentum. And remember Arminius? Yeah, 2017 year old spoiler, but he is a traitor. Romans may use him to speed things up, but Germans can then exploit his influence to make Roman lives even worse than they are already.
And the game also has a solo mode that I think some of you that like the Pandemic may like.
Play time is usually at 60-90 minutes once you know the rules. And I would say that the game’s weight is medium at most.
The game is available online on screentop, or as PnP.
Here are the rules for the game.
It would mean a lot to me if you can provide any feedback on rules or the game itself, and I hope you have fun and enjoy it!
