Guiscard 2: The Varangian Guard

GUISCARD 2 simulates the epic conquest of Southern Italy and Sicily be the Normans, led by Robert Guiscard ("the cunning" or "the weasel"), in the eleventh century. The game features the various factions of the time as the Byzantines, the Arabs of Sicily, the Lombards, the Germans and the Normans of course, who came as mere mercenaries in the middle of this mess of conflicting interests and who decided to seize power by arms.

GUISCARD was originally released in 2013 and is now out of print. This new version includes all the materials of the original game, but with counters printed on much thicker boards, a new map, new additional counters and a campaign game. New scenarios feature the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine emperors.
