Slay is a small game that is a lot like Risk. You can play with 2 to 6 human or computer opponents [you can make them stupid, medium or clever-but not in the shareware version] have 9 houses, and when there is a flag waving above these houses, you can buy another fighter or a castle, depending on how much money you have. You get money for the amount of territory you control, without trees on it, and each house, [which marks the capital of that territory] counts there money separate. You need to get bigger fighters, which need a lot of territory to pay their wages. You fight on an island full of hexagons. The rules are a little sparse, but the game is not that hard, although you might want to check hints at the bottom of the rules. I couldn't get anywhere until I read the hints, and that told the last bits that the rules didn't cover.

I island has a number, which suggests that if you register you will get more than one island, but it doesn't say this. The game is cute, I think it is just a little expensive, but not too bad.
