Beschreibung
A free online print-and-play solitaire 'worker placement' game, simulating the famous British defence of Rorke's Drift on the night of 22 January 1879 at the beginning of the Zulu War.
The player, representing the British, must assign each of 4 dice to one of three actions: fighting off the Zulu attackers, putting out fires, or progressing the passage of time until dawn/relief arrives. Successful, die rolls kill Zulus, protect the defences or mark the passage of time respectively. Any Zulus not killed then inflict casualties on the British.
The game ends in a British victory if the time marker reaches the 10th box on its track, and a British defeat (massacre) if the Zulus inflict 10 casualties.
The game takes 5 mins to play and comes with a 2-player option and several optional rules.
