Fyrdwisa

What to Expect

In Fyrdwisa, you take on the role of an Anglo-Saxon war leader battling for dominance on a hexagonal battlefield. You strategically deploy armies and barricades, control neutral cities to gain resources, and aim to capture your opponent's capital. The game uses action points that you spend and save to perform various tactical moves. Randomized city resources ensure each game plays out differently, offering high replayability.

Who Is This Game For?

Fyrdwisa is a medium-weight strategy game for 2 to 3 players aged 11 and up, with a playtime of about 30 minutes. It suits players who enjoy abstract tactical games with manageable complexity and short sessions. Prior experience with strategy games is recommended due to the tactical depth and resource management involved.

How It Works

Players receive action points each turn based on the neutral cities they control, which they spend to move armies and control territory. Area Majority mechanics determine control over regions for additional benefits. Campaign or battle cards add tactical options during combat. Action points can be saved up to a maximum to allow flexible and surprise maneuvers.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Andrew Linke, Fyrdwisa blends Action Points and Area Majority on a unique hexagonal board divided into triangles. It originates from the Kickstarter crowdfunding family, and randomized city resources add variability without expansions.

Setting & Atmosphäre

Set in medieval England during the Dark Ages, players embody Anglo-Saxon war leaders vying for supremacy on the battlefield. The theme focuses on historical warfare and resource control.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Plan your action points carefully and focus on controlling neutral cities to gain valuable resources.
