FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thornhenge launches "Lyssan" on Kickstarter
San Francisco, CA - JUNE 19th, 2011 - Thornhenge Games is pleased to announce the Kickstarter launch of its first boardgame, Lyssan.
Lyssan is a medieval land wracked by never-ending civil war, a unified empire in name only. Players in the game contend for the throne with mighty knights, canny nobles, scheming priests, and devious spies. Each claimant-emperor must outmaneuver their rivals on the battlefields and in the shadows, or find their claim ended at the edge of a blade.
"I'm immensely proud of Lyssan," said game author Sam Brown, "It blends euro-simple rules with the cut-throat competitiveness of a wargame. The action starts on the very first turn, and continues through the entire game, with a constant need for deep, strategic choices."
Kickstarter supporters have the chance to pre-order the game at a discount from the retail price while claiming promotional cards not included in the retail version. Retailers pre-ordering via kickstarter can also claim the promo cards for their copies, while securing the same bulk-order rate Thornhenge will be offering after the pre-order period is complete.
Lyssan is 2-4 player game, ages 12 and up. A typical game completes in under 3 hours.
