Description

Guyenne is a card game of bluff, hand management and castle conquest, with a historical flavour.

The name "Guyenne" refers both to the hereditary duchy of the English crown resulting from the Treaty of Brétigny signed in 1360 and to the battle cry of the Anglo-Guyenne armies during the Hundred Years War.

Players compete in successive rounds. They play the cards in their hand to take control of as many of the castle defences as possible that face them. But their forces are limited, and they must be used at the right moment to get the final victory.

Each game turn consists of two phases (laying cards and resolving battles) during which both players are alternately attacker and defender.
