Brian Boru

A cut-throat game of power-brokering and intrigue in eleventh century Ireland designed by award-winning designer Peer Sylvester.

A tense political game of marriage, religion, and viking invaders in eleventh century Ireland.

Description

11th Century Ireland is awash with would-be Kings and self-professed rulers. Real power in this land has never been more elusive.

In Brian Boru, players must marry the right bride, secure influence in the flourishing Christian Church, and repel Viking invaders, all the while stealing the support of local communities away from bitter rivals. To become the King of all Ireland, you'll need to navigate a web of shifting allegiances, manage changing priorities, and ensure your many enemies do not unite against you until it's too late.

About the Author

Peer Sylvester started his career in boardgaming quite early, because his dad needed an opponent in chess. In third grade he wanted to become a professional chess player. Instead he turned out to become a teacher for math and chemistry. An award-winning board-game designer of titles like The Lost Expedition, The King is Dead, and Wir sind das Volk!, he has written a number of books on the subject. Deirdre de Barra is an Irish artist and illustrator. She has been involved with the Irish Small Press contributing to many comics, zines and anthologies, and in 2014 illustrated the comic Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf / Brian Bóroimhe agus Cath Chluain Tarbh. These days she no longer works digitally but has found her way back to traditional media, primarily pencil, ink and watercolour.
