Verrix (ancient Gaelic for King of Kings) is management, strategic, historical boardgame with great player interaction, asymmetrical, and with the main mechanic based on card hand management plus a small deck-building component. Set in Britannia in 54 B.C., the player leads a Celtic tribe with the goal of reaching the highest possible level of Fame, accumulating victory points over 12 turns (Celtic Calendar). Each player will have different characteristics depending on the type of tribe he chooses to use, he can select the tribe with a specific inclination (Craftsmanship, Trade, Mysticism, Raid, Battle), the starting region and during the game: increase the population, promote a member of the tribe to the leader and increase the number of Action Cards in their possession. There are several ways to earn points. You can earn points by playing Action Cards that reflect the Celtic character of your tribe, or by earning the favor of the Gods on the 4 main festivals of the Celtic calendar, or by winning battles in the best Celtic way.
