Stand or Starve: A Strategic Survival Game

Overview:
Set in the tumultuous year of 794 AD, Stand or Starve immerses players in a historic conflict where four powerful factions—Samurai, Knights Templar, Vikings, and Spartan warriors—clash for supremacy. Each faction seeks to establish its dominance, shaping the course of history through strategic decisions, resource management, and intense combat. Will you lead your empire to victory, or will your people succumb to starvation?

Gameplay:
Stand or Starve is a competitive strategy game where 2-4 players must balance resource management, territory expansion, and combat to outlast their opponents. Players take on the role of faction leaders, each vying to build the strongest empire while fending off rivals.

Game Phases and Player Actions:

Setup:

Players choose a faction and a capital city, receive initial resources (food, wood, metal, villagers, warriors, and roads), and determine the turn order.
Turn Structure: On their turn, players allocate villagers to produce resources, build roads, train warriors, and expand their empire. Players can also engage in trade with others to gain the upper hand.

Resource Management:

Assign villagers to gather food, wood, and metal or to train additional villagers and warriors.
Construction: Use wood and metal to build roads, towers, and resource stations, which are essential for expansion and defense.

Combat:

Move warriors to capture enemy capitals, stations, and roads. Battles are resolved by dice rolls, with bonuses from tools and defensive structures influencing the outcome.
Special Cards: After the second cycle, players draw event and tool cards that can alter the course of the game for everyone or provide individual advantages.

End of Turn:

At the end of each turn cycle, players must manage their food supply, as starvation can lead to elimination.

Winning and Losing:

Victory Condition:

The game ends when one player's capital remains standing after all others have fallen or been seized. This player is declared the winner.

Losing Conditions:

Players are eliminated if their food supply runs out or if their capital is captured for a full cycle.

Tie Condition:

If multiple players starve simultaneously, the game ends in a tie.
