Simon Says - Lewes and Evesham

Please note that this is a DTP (Desk Top Publishing) game designed on a desktop computer and all components, including the counters which will have to be cut and mounted, are printed on paper. These are designed by some very well-known designers and are a low cost alternative to today's professionally produced games. On rare occasions, some of these games are reproduced by other companies with higher quality components including die-cut counters but most of them are not. If you believe this game to have a professionally produced version, please contact us with your inquiry and we will help you to locate it if it does indeed exist.

Simulates the two major battles of the 13th century revolt of Simon de Montfort against the rule of Henry III. Outnumbered two to one, and with his left wing of Londoners routed by an opening royalist cavalry charge, Simon still managed to smash Henry's tired army and capture the king and Prince Edward at the Battle of Lewes on 14 May 1264, but a year later dissension among the revolting barons and Prince Edward's great escape led to the death of Simon and the revolt at the Battle of Eveshame on 4 August 1265. Two 22x17 inch maps, 200 counters.
