Description

--- **Hadrian's Wall** is a strategic board game where Roman Generals build forts and walls over six rounds, managing defenses, civilians, and Picts to maximize virtues and claim Legatus Legionis. Key mechanics include: - *Fort and wall construction* Players build milecastles, forts, and bordering walls across six years (rounds). - *Defense management* Man defenses and combat warring Picts to uphold Roman honor. - *Civilian attraction* Provide services and entertainment to draw civilians. - *Virtue accumulation* Gain renown, piety, valor, and discipline while avoiding disdain for victory. Hadrian's Wall is an engine-building board game inspired by the historical Roman fortification ordered by Emperor Hadrian in 122 AD to separate Pict tribes from England, spanning 80 Roman miles and serving nearly 300 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Players embody Roman Generals tasked with constructing a milecastle and wall, fortifying defenses, attracting civilians through services and entertainment, and repelling Pict attacks over six rounds. Success hinges on amassing the highest totals in renown, piety, valor, and discipline while minimizing disdain, crowning the top player as Legatus Legionis and proving their worth to the Emperor. ---
