In Brian Boru: High King of Ireland, you strive to unite Ireland with your domain, securing control through power, cunning and marriage. Join forces to repel Viking invaders, build monasteries to extend your influence and gather support in towns and villages across the land. To become the Great King of all Ireland, you must navigate a web of shifting alliances, foil the plans of your enemies and take history by the reins.
The success of the historical Brian Boru rested on three pillars: his victories against the Vikings, the favours he managed to curry from the Church and the alliances he forged through political marriages. These three pillars became the basis of the game, each of them becoming a colour in the turn taking that forms the core of the mechanics. If you win a turn, you gain influence in a city, which allows you to gain majorities in regions; if you lose the turn, however (deliberately or not), you take an action corresponding to the colour of the card.
