Nice way to introduce my girlfriend to board games. Very easy to play. After playing Dominion and Coup I can't rate this game 9 anymore so I'll drop to an 8.

Hengist
Order by 15:00 Italian time for same-day dispatch, Monday to Friday.
Delivery in Italy normally takes 1 business day, 2 for the islands.
Become the legendary leader Hengist and conquer post-Roman Britain! In this 2-player board game, raid cities, villages and monasteries to accumulate the greatest treasure. A fast and strategic game lasting 20 minutes with a historical theme and medieval raids.
- 60 cards (59.0mmx91.0mm) [suggested by belboy]
Thirty years have passed since the Romans left Britain. The power of the Picts and the Scots is growing, and they are pushing inland. In order to save Britain, the great chieftain Vortigern has asked the Saxon brothers Hengist and Horsa to help defend Britain. You and your brother agree to help, but over the years Vortigern has become greedy and does not pay you enough.
It is time for you to take matters into your own hands and take what is rightfully yours! You have good maps, strong fighters and stout boats. The coast is littered with villages, towns, monasteries and estates. All are waiting to be pillaged! Who will win the thrilling hunt for fame and fortune – Hengist or Horsa?
Both players compete for the same treasure tiles. The player that reaches a treasure tile with one of his raiding groups first, gets the tile. But a part of the road is hidden and must be explored first. Not always is the direct path the most successful way. The player who uses his cards wisely and has a little bit of luck will get the more valuable treasure tiles and win the game.

Very nice little gem for 2 players and cool graphic :) i readed it needs house rules
Was about to dump the game and rate it a four . . . . . . then I read the revised rules and we had a blast. Eight.
We bought this game on a whim and a suggestion by the staff at a game store. Not only is it beautifully crafted, it is also very fun! The fact that the "land" tiles and the "path way" tiles are pretty much decided at random for each game makes replaying the game a lot of fun too. All in all, a simple but fun game!
