Chapter 3 · 300 BC – AD 43
The Iron Age
A farm of the Atrebates, with roundhouses, grain pits, a hillfort on the hill and news of Caesar.
In the making
Flicco Britannia
One valley in Wessex, played through time.
Farm it, build it and defend it, age after age. The roundhouses still stand beside the first villa, and the villa’s ruins stand beside the Saxon hall.
For primary schools (KS2, ages 7 to 11), and anyone who loves history.

How do we know?
History from the evidence
Every building, milestone and event in the game has a note on the evidence behind it, from the finds that archaeologists dig up to what the Romans wrote down. Find something as you play and it goes in your museum.
Where the game bends history to make it play, it says so plainly.
Build in peaceBuild your farm at your own pace, tick off milestones, and read what really happened in your chronicle.
Tribe against tribeThe tribe across the river wants your cattle! Train your warriors and defend your farm. Fighting is a re-enactment, with no blood.
A real battleAD 44: the Roman army marches on a hillfort. Will you attack, or defend the walls?
For teachers
Made for the classroom
It’s built round the KS2 history curriculum and its big ideas, rather than facts to memorise: chronology, change and continuity, and how we know.
- It plays in the browser on Chromebooks, iPads and older laptops.
- There’s no chat, and nothing is collected from children.
- There’s a guide for the first game, and an edition for younger players.
