"El hombre codicia el oro, pero los dioses codician la sangre."
Venture into the heart of conquest and sacrifice with Blood & Gold, a fast-paced, brutal skirmish wargame set in the untamed jungles of the New World. This free ruleset is a work in progress, inspired by the acclaimed Ravenfeast system, but completely reimagined to capture the gold-fueled ambition of the Conquistadors and the blood-hungry rituals of Indigenous warriors.
