Roberts Award-winning design team of Wes Erni and Ben Madison at Victory Point Games, is a solitaire States of SiegeTM game where you represent the two largest pre-Columbian Indian “mound builder” cultures that dominated eastern North America from before the time of Christ until the coming of the European colonists in the 17th century. Your empire represents the earlier Hopewell culture and the later Mississippian culture that derived from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil the arrival of the Spanish late in the game, you will expand your control across the map of North America, extending it over the various chiefdoms encountered and incorporating them into your economic and religious sphere (“empire”). Your domain will grow and shrink, but be aware that rather than a military advance and retreat, this process represents the rise and decline of culture, religious ideology, and an economic way of life, threatened from outside by competing ideologies and lifestyles as much as by hostile armies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour goal is to extend Mound Builder culture and amass as many chiefdoms as possible before rival native powers (and the smallpox-ridden Spanish!) rise up to drive you back to your Mississippi River heartland and extinguish your vast capital city at Cahokia, Illinois – near modern St. Louis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's In The Box?:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• One 32-page full color Rules booklet\u003cbr\u003e• One 11\" x 17\" map\u003cbr\u003e• 49 thick, laser-cut, multi-shaped counter pieces (minor assembly required)\u003cbr\u003e• 50 History cards\u003cbr\u003e• One player aid\u003cbr\u003e• One six-sided die\u003cbr\u003e• One 11” x 17” mounted, jigsaw-cut game map\u003cbr\u003e• One bright red, 9 1\/4\" x 5 7\/8\" Standard cardboard VPG game box\u003cbr\u003e• One beautiful box cover sleeve\u003cbr\u003e• One \"Wipes-A-Lot\" napkin\u003cbr\u003e• One charcoal desiccant packet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victory Point Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":709785141,"sku":"VPG12015","price":41.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Mound_Builders.jpg?v=1578608902"},{"product_id":"dragon-s-hoard","title":"Dragon's Hoard","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamebliss.com\/collections\/nathanael-mortensen\"\u003eNathanael Mortensen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamebliss.com\/collections\/all\/renegade-game-studios\"\u003eRenegade Game Studios\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25-45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e136594\/dragons-hoard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/136594\/dragons-hoard\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIn Dragon's Hoard, each player plays a dragon hunting for treasure.
