Centuries ago, the Greek, Persian, and Assyrian Empires controlled vast amounts of land and wealth. Despite their fortresses and imposing armies, rumors spread of a formidable foe from the area north of the Black Sea. These fierce warriors, both men and women, came on horseback. They were skilled with sword, bow, and axe. Yet, they were not uncivilized barbarians. Their expert artisans were renowned for their detailed golden trinkets. They also crafted leather armor and developed the recurve bow. They trained eagles for hunting and war. Some even believe the Greek tales of the Amazons are based on them. But they were more than legend or fable. They were the Raiders of Scythia. The player with the most victory points (VP) at the end of the game is the winner. Victory points can be earned by raiding and plundering settlements and by completing missions. You will need to hire warriors, train animals, and gather enough supplies. The game ends when only 2 plunder spaces or 2 missions remain on the game board.
