*Not live from Pompeii, this game is all about Romans, Picts, and what would later shape the Great Britain.
When visiting the North of Britannia in 122 AD, the Roman Emperor Hadrian Augustus witnessed the aftermath of war between his armies and the savage Picts. In a show of Roman might, he ordered a wall to be built that would separate the Pict tribes from the rest of England. Grand in its design, the wall stretched 80 Roman miles, from coast to coast. Hadrian's Wall stood in service to the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years before its eventual decline. Today, Hadrian's Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the remains of the forts, towers, and turrets can still be explored.
Â
In Hadrian's Wall, players take on the role of a Roman General placed in charge of the construction of a milecastle and bordering wall. Over six years (rounds), players will construct their fort and wall, man the defences, and attract civilians by building services and providing entertainment- all while defending the honor of the Roman Empire from the warring Picts. The player who can accumulate the most renown, piety, valor and discipline, whilst avoiding disdain, will prove to the Emperor they are the model Roman citizen and be crowned Legatus Legionis!

Who allowed this gem of a game that is very well suited for Board Game Arena, and has even won some awards such as the Golden Geek?
It is all up to Garphill Games and their wonderful team, as well as the game designer Bobby Hill, and the development done for the platform by Mistergos.

*As a side note, it is advised that players plan their entire go BEFORE picking their Path Card, until you are happy that you have spent your supplies effectively and end the turn with minimal wastage
Â
If you intend to use the above system, extra supplies are distributed AFTER Path selection, and as such the supplies it says you have may not be all you have to use that turn.*

And... that's it for today!
See you next week, and until then...
Take care and play fair!
MURO DE HADRIAN: Outro ladrillo?
Non en directo desde Pompeia, este xogo trata sobre romanos, pictos e o que máis tarde darÃa forma a Gran Bretaña.
Cando visitou o norte de Britania no ano 122 d. C., o emperador romano Adriano Augusto presenciou as consecuencias da guerra entre os seus exércitos e os salvaxes pictos.
Nunha mostra de poder romano, mandou construÃr un muro que separase as tribos pictas do resto de Inglaterra.
Gran no seu deseño, a muralla estendÃase 80 millas romanas, de costa a costa.
O muro de Adriano estivo ao servizo do Imperio Romano durante case 300 anos antes do seu eventual declive.
Hoxe, o muro de Adriano é Patrimonio da Humanidade da UNESCO e aÃnda se poden explorar os restos dos castros, torres e torretas.
En Muro de Adriano, os xogadores asumen o papel dun xeneral romano encargado da construción dun castelo milla e da muralla limÃtrofe.
Ao longo de seis anos (roldas), os xogadores construirán o seu forte e muralla, defenderán as defensas e atraerán civÃs construÃndo servizos e proporcionando entretemento, todo ao tempo que defenderán a honra do Imperio Romano dos pictos en guerra.
O xogador que poida acumular máis renome, piedade, valor e disciplina, evitando o desdén, demostrará ao Emperador que é o cidadán romano modelo e será coroado Legatus Legionis.

Quen permitiu esta xoia dun xogo que é moi axeitado para Board Game Arena, e que ata gañou algúns premios como o Golden Geek?
Todo depende de Garphill Games e do seu marabilloso equipo, asà como do deseñador de xogos Bobby Hill, e do desenvolvemento realizado para a plataforma por Mistergos.
Como nota ao margen, recoméndase que os xogadores planifiquen todo o seu paseo ANTES de escoller a súa tarxeta de camiño, ata que esteas satisfeito de ter gastado as túas subministracións de forma eficaz e rematar a quenda cun mÃnimo desperdicio.
Se pretendes utilizar o sistema anterior, as subministracións adicionais distribúense DESPOIS da selección da ruta e, polo tanto, as subministracións que di que tes poden non ser todas as que tes para usar nese turno.
E... iso é todo por hoxe!
Vémonos a próxima semana, e ata entón...
Coidado e xoga limpo!
