Pillage - Hardcover Rulebook (+ Free PDF)

Hardback Rules + Free PDF (sent automatically when purchased)

A narrative-driven skirmish game set in the Viking Age and early medieval period, where every battle tells a story.

"Protect the village. Or burn it to the ground."

Will you stand your ground, defending your people, treasures, and livestock from invading raiders? Or will you storm the enemy’s lands, loot their riches, and set fire to everything in your path? Pillage throws you into the heart of the action, climb, swim, fight, and make every decision count.

Written by Guillaume Rousselot (Noodle Wargames). French version available here.

What is Pillage?

Whether you’re storming enemy villages in search of loot or defending your home from fire and steel, Pillage blends fast-paced mechanics with rich, cinematic moments. Climb towers, dive into rivers, rescue civilians, or set the world ablaze, no two games are ever the same. With its emphasis on storytelling, terrain, and objective-based play, Pillage turns your miniatures into heroes, cowards, and legends in a saga of your own making.

Explore a system that is both accessible and deep, designed to recreate the iconic battles of the period: raids and pillaging. Burn villages, capture loot or future slaves, adapt your strategy to the weather, embark on your Longship, or defend your sacred relics from northern invaders!

This book focuses on the period from the 793 raid on Lindisfarne Abbey to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but it can easily be adapted to conflicts from Antiquity through to the end of the Middle Ages.

It is a time of upheaval and conquest, a world where kingdoms are forged at the tip of a spear, where raiders strike without warning, and where glory means securing a place of honour alongside one's god.

Nice little game. Pity about changes so early on.

Bought the hardback. It's a neat low complexity game. It's a bit annoying to get corrections issued so early after buying a £30 hardback book.

This suggests play testing could have been more robust. Maybe living rules is a better way to go ?
This is why I normally just buy the PDF.

This is a pity and reduces the joy associated with an otherwise good product that will be played at our club.

Nice book and wonderful game

I really love this game! And the book is a really good one with not only the rules but also a bit of history.

Great skirmish game

My name is Bernhard Hennen. I am a author. I have been writing books for more than thirty years. Most of them are fantasy novels; currently they are books about the Third Crusade, and soon there will be novels set in the early 5th century. I have always used tabletop rules to simulate battles from my books. Pillage is a perfect rule system for this. Simple without being simplistic. Fast, with clear decisions and heroic moments. A perfect form of entertainment and inspiration. Thank you for that.
