“Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war.”
Mark Antony’s famous passage from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar has been aptly chosen as the title of this ‘deadly intense’ strategy board game from Polish outfit Portal Games. Cry Havoc is a card-driven, asymmetric, area control game set in a new sci-fi universe, and from the first turn you’ll be gripped by the brutal significance of every move you make.
The story goes that a resource-rich planet has been discovered by three races – humans, machines and the alien pilgrims – each with a desire to make it their own. However, there is a fourth faction at play: the trogs.
