Garphill Games has opened crowdfunding for Wallguards of the East Empire, a deck-building board game about defending Constantinople in 821. Shem Phillips and S J Macdonald designed the game for one to four players. Players train warriors, build siege equipment and play cards into four battlefields. Once a battlefield

holds at least five cards, it triggers a defence. A victory gains a defector from the besieging forces, while defeat brings a new ally. The game ends when either the Defector or Ally deck runs out. Defending the walls is a major source of victory points, with training troops and improving the barracks also contributing

to the final score. Official source. Supporting official source. Supporting official source. Image credit: Garphill Games, official Wallguards artwork by Mihajlo Dimitrievski. Official image source.
