Битката за Балканите: Ерата на Калоян

Битката за Балканите. Ерата на Калоян is set around the year 1204. Every player controls one of five medieval Kingdoms of the period in the Balkans - Bulgaria, Nicaea, Epirus, The Latin Empire and Venice, in the struggle for sovereignty, territory and power. The Kingdoms have three types of armies – regular, elite and a king army (except Venice, since it was a republic), as well as fleets. Part of the armies are put on the board at the begining of the game, while the others can be recruited during the game. After an army is destroyed it is returned to the player and can be recruited again. Victory is achieved after the accumulation of a certain number of points “Influence“, elimination of the other players or conquering enough provinces. You control armies in sea and land battles, gain gold and conquer territories. Every move should be planned well, but luck also plays a role – your enemy can hold cards that can turn the game. There are three types : “Strategy”, “Battle tactics” and Kingdom specific cards, which are different for each Kingdom.
