Britannia: Classic and New Duel Edition

About this board game

Britannia: Classic and New Duel Edition is a historical board game for 2–4 players with a playing time of 240 minutes, covering Britain from the Roman arrival in AD 43 to the Norman conquest in AD 1085.

Across the centuries, players control several tribes and leaders whose fortunes change as the game progresses. Recognisable figures and peoples include the Angles, Saxons, Irish, Norsemen, Danes, Boudicca, King Arthur, and Offa, alongside many other names from British history.

The power of each tribe will rise and fall, creating an ongoing challenge: players must judge when to expand and when to consolidate. The changing balance of power brings the turbulent history of Britain to the tabletop.

• Classic Britannia: the traditional four-player experience on the standard board.
• Duel Britannia: a faster adaptation for two players, played on a new board that includes Ireland.
• Over 200 miniatures: beautifully sculpted plastic figures bring the game’s tribes and leaders to the table.

Classic Britannia continues the version familiar to fans, incorporating Lew Pulsipher’s continued development and player feedback. For a shorter contest, Duel Britannia provides a dedicated two-player format while preserving the game’s historical setting.

Whether played as a four-player campaign of shifting fortunes or a focused head-to-head contest, Britannia: Classic and New Duel Edition offers two ways to experience the long struggle for control of Britain.
