Publisher's description:

In Mongol armies unit integrity was achieved through constant practice. A primary method of practice was through the battue, or hunt. During the battue the members of the hunt (or army) would form a loose ring whose circumference could stretch miles. Through constant communication and cooperation the members of the battue would tighten the circle. Their goal was to prevent any animals, or enemies, from escaping from the ring. In hunting, as in war, they were very successful. The methods used in hunting were the same used in war.
Rooted in the World of Terris, a brutal, dark fantasy setting envisioned by authors Robin Laws and Scott Hungerford, Battue: Storm of the Horse Lords is a strategy board game in which players take control of a horde of Horse Lords bent on looting Tarsos, the City of Brass Pillars. This strategy game is easy-to-learn, fast-playing, fun, and keeps players involved in the game even when it’s not their turn. The player who manages to control the choicest sections of the city and has the most loot at the end of the game is the winner. Further expansions will introduce new rules and options as well as allow additional players to join the game.
