From the publisher's website: Two hundred years of bloody battles, deadly feuds and constant raiding have turned the Scottish Borders into a virtual no mans land. Every clan raids, battles and pillages its neighbors, regardless of national ties, and the crowns of England and Scotland turn a blind eye to the chaos. Clan loyalties are all that matter, every opponent has a grievance and anything you can steal is yours if you can get it home. You play a Border clan, warring with and raiding your neighbors, fortifying your borders and taming the landscape as you try to establish your dominance of the Borders through the 15th and 16th Centuries. Use economic, military and subterfuge strategies to thwart the neighboring clans and advance your clan to eminence. Border Reivers is a game of strategy, warfare and chance for 2 to 4 players, aged 12 to adult. Games last 30 to 90 minutes.
