## Description
_Slay_ is a rather simple turn-based strategy game with a medieval theme. The
game takes place on an island, which is a grid of hexagon tiles divided up
between the 6 players. You must try to capture your enemies’ territory, and
the goal of the game is to conquer land and control the largest area. There
are four types of troops, each stronger then the lesser ones. The weakest are
the peasants (displayed as an unarmed man), spearmen (peasants with spear and
shield), knights and the strongest are the barons (knight with spear and
shield). The troops are upgraded by combining lesser troops. Some tiles
contain resources or assets which the players can use to their advantage, like
a castle, a cottage or trees.
The game covers many of the basic principles of war, such as the divide and
conquer principle, the perils of multi front warfare, knowing when to attack
and when to defend, finding the enemies weak spots and protect your own. It is
also a game of resource management and risk assessment; for example, barons
use up more resources from the territory.
