Stronghold

Undead

 

Stronghold is a 2-player-game, defenders of the fortress fight against attackers. If you like, you can also play the game with four players, but it is best with two. In 10 rounds there are six phases each, then an attack happens, attacker and defender alternate in turns, the defender receives time markers from the attacker which he must use up to prepare his defense. If the attacker can break through a section of the wall the game ends and the player with the majority of fame points wins. If not, another turn begins.

Stronghold Undead is an expansion for Stronghold. The expansions tells the story of a new attack on the fortress that must be warded off to save mankind. The attacker this time is an army of Undead, lead by a mighty magician, and this army is supported by ghosts and vampires. The defenders this time do not fight for fame, but for preserving the fortress.

This version is played over eight rounds, with each round that the defenders survive the magician gets weaker, but he tries to replenish his strength from his own resources and from defeated defenders. The expansion features 24 new attack actions and 6 new buildings for the defender, priests are new heroes and there are new rules for Fear, Debates in the Command Council, the Altar of Death and the new Priest heroes.

Just as the basic game this expansion, too, demands a lot of gaming experience, intensive study of the rules and patience for a long duration of the game. Therefore you should be familiar with the basic game, but then it can be recommended and makes for a fantastic and interesting as well as very challenging game.
