Garphill Games has just announced *Wallguards of the East Empire*, the first installment in a brand-new trilogy set in the Eastern Empire. Following the *North Sea*, *West Kingdom*, and *South Tigris* trilogies, Shem Phillips and S.J. Macdonald now transport us to Constantinople in 821 AD, as Thomas the Slav attempts to overthrow Emperor Michael II.<\/p>\n

In this new game, players take on the roles of Constantinople\u2019s inhabitants, tasked with organizing the city’s defense against a vastly superior army. The game mechanics center on using cards to perform actions that subsequently supply four different battlefields. When a defense is triggered, its strength is assessed: victory allows players to recruit Defectors, while defeat brings in new Allies. Players must also train warriors, upgrade barracks, and develop siege capabilities to amass the most victory points.<\/p>\n

Designed for 1 to 4 players with a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, *Wallguards of the East Empire* is set to launch on Kickstarter in November 2026. This initial foray into the Byzantine Empire marks the beginning of a new historical trilogy for Garphill Games, with two additional games to follow and complete the series.<\/p>\n
