In May we’re releasing Imperium: Classics and Imperium: Legends, two standalone deck-building civilisation games designed by Nigel Buckle and Dávid Turczi. Today on the blog we’re looking at the Arthurians, by which we mean legends around King Arthur, a British leader who supposedly led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th Century CE. The Arthurian deck is rather different to the others in Imperium. We’ve taken a distinct approach to interpreting the legend, going back to the Welsh folklore rather than using the modern legends in films and books. We have incorporated these stories to craft our own version which you can explore playing the Arthurian deck, which is one of the most challenging in Imperium (we rate this deck 5 out of 5 in terms of difficulty).Continue Reading
