6 Castillos

In the XII century, during the reconquest of the territory, small kingdoms are formed in the Iberian Peninsula, which will continue to fight each other in the following centuries. In the west, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, a new country was born - Portugal. The first Portuguese kings invest heavily their efforts and scarce resources in the expansion of the territory to the south, while organizing the defense of these new frontiers. Castles are built and land use contracts are granted to small villages that grow and gain more importance in these parts of the country.

Where today exists in the County of Idanha-a-Nova a line with six castles that was formed to help in the defense of the Country and keep the distance from the kingdom of Leon. This line of castles allowed the growth of a region that since the time of the Roman presence had an enormous importance in the interior of the peninsula.

In 6 Castles, 2 to 4 players are representatives of the king who seek to promote agriculture, free trade, religious faith and wealth for the nobles of the kingdom.
