Raiders of Scythia

Lead a mounted warband across the steppes to raid fortified settlements, gather plunder and complete quests. Players recruit and place crew members, train animals like horses and eagles, and spend provisions to launch attacks or fulfil objectives. Actions include assembling a tableau of warriors and equipment, assigning riders to raid locations on a shared map, resolving combat and looting, and converting plunder into victory points. The game ends when only a few settlements or quests remain on the board, and the player with the most victory points from raids, plunder and completed quests wins.
