Age of Conan: The Strategy Board Game

This is the 2009 board game, not the online RPG of the same name, and it drops you into the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. You lead one of four kingdoms, Aquilonia, Turan, Hyperborea or Stygia, raising armies, sending emissaries, and boosting your actions with your kingdom's cards. The tricky part is Conan himself. At the start of each of three ages, four Conan adventure cards go out, and you chase them to grow your realm's power and wealth. It is a wargame-flavored strategy game with miniatures, built for two to four players, with around ninety minutes of armies, sorcery and intrigue. Strong if you already like Conan, and still good if you just like fantasy conflict.
