Pillage: Ransack the Middle Ages

“Pillage: Ransack the Middle Ages” is a narrative-driven wargame about raids and pillaging during the Viking Age and early medieval period. Players can either defend a village or attack it to loot valuables, capture people or livestock, and burn structures. The game emphasizes storytelling through interactive terrain, weather conditions, and objective-based scenarios that include actions like climbing, swimming, and setting fires. 

• Era: Primarily the Viking Age (793–1066 CE), but adaptable for conflicts across the Middle Ages.
• Objective: One player attacks to pillage, while the other defends their village from being burned and looted.
• Gameplay: A fast-paced, narrative-focused skirmish game played with miniatures on a tabletop.
• Player actions: Players can move, climb, swim, fight, set fire to buildings, and capture loot, people, and livestock.

• Storytelling: The game focuses on creating unique stories in every match, with scenarios built around objectives like capturing relics or burning buildings.
• Interactive terrain: Players can interact with the game board by climbing over walls, swimming across rivers, and setting structures on fire.
• “Fire Phase”: A specific phase in the turn is dedicated to setting fires, which adds to the chaos and can damage units.
• Objective-based: Gameplay is driven by objectives that are set by the scenario being played, rather than just eliminating the opponent’s forces.
• Brutal combat: Combat is fast and deadly, with most models having a single wound, though leaders can sustain multiple hits.
