Les conquérants

Viking, Japanese, Roman, and Egyptian armies set out to conquer the land! They gain ground by building fortresses. They must use strategy to bypass or hinder rivals they meet along the way and to return quickly to their castles. Les conquérants is designed to help children aged 7 to 14 develop their planning skills and mental flexibility. The game encourages them to plan their movements and those of others, while adjusting to each turn. The various ways in which the game can be made more complex make it a great value, even for adults! —description from the publisher
