Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North—Barbarian Hordes is an expansion that allows you to take on the role of 2 Clan leaders that belong to a new Faction—the Barbarians! Joanna Kijanka, the author of the latest expansion introduces you to the world of uncouth Barbarians who rule by their own laws. This is her second independent expansion to the game, after the Roman Banners and the Japanese Island with which she cooperated with Ignacy Trzewiczek. This expansion works well with both previous ones: you can find explanations how to combine specific cards from them in the rulebook.
