Description from the publisher: Hexcalibur is an abstract wargame for two players, with an average duration of 40 minutes per game. The action takes place in the first and convulsive years of the reign of Arthur Pendragon. The round table doesn't exist yet and the land is torn by a war between the kingdom of Logres, the forces of Cumbria and the mysterious pagan warriors. You can recruit men and beasts, make use of Merlin's powers, and even brandish the mythical sword Excalibur. During the game, players place hexagons (representing their troops) over different territories. If you place similar troops next to each other, they will form chains, improving their effectiveness in combat. When a territory has as many hexagons as its population limit, a battle takes place. Win battles in order to conquer the different regions of Britannia ... but be very careful with the dragons!! ••• Hexcalibur es un juego de guerra abstracto para 2 jugadores, con una duración media de 40 minutos por partida. La acción transcurre en los primeros y convulsos años del reinado de Arturo Pendragón. La mesa redonda aún no existe y la nación está dividida por una guerra entre el reino de Logres, los ejércitos de Cumbria y los misteriosos guerreros paganos. Podrás reclutar hombres y bestias, hacer uso de los poderes de Merlín e incluso blandir la mítica espada Excalibur. Durante la partida, los jugadores colocan hexágonos (que representan sus tropas) sobre distintos territorios. Si sitúas tropas similares unas junto a las otras, estas formarán cadenas, mejorando su efectividad en combate. Cuándo un territorio tiene tantos hexágonos encima como su límite de población, tiene lugar una batalla. Gana batallas para conquistar las distintas regiones de Britannia... ¡¡pero ten mucho cuidado con los dragones!!
