Hello!

So I've been working on my own boardgame now for years, and this is how far I've got. I'm basically trying to start playtesting the latest version of the rules now.

The game revolves around players setting up order tokens face down 3 at a time per player. Those are revealed simultaneously and acted out in player order ( 1 order token changes the first player status ).

Also at the end of the round, players receive influence. Which is used to buy siege weapons and higher tier troops. Players who are lagging behind with victory points gain more influence, this acts as a comeback mechanism in the game. To give a fighting chance even for the underdogs.

Player to gather X amount of victory points wins the current game.

Starting with 8 VP to win, and going through 8 rounds for 4 player game.

Everything can change and I'm more than happy if you guys have any ideas or critique.

A very hot mess of a "rulebook" can be found here.

Some images I took from a "setup for 4 players" and some end game imagining, I went a little bit overboard with setting up the minis. And the scenario is just a mirror image for most of the players.

All the miniatures are Lancashire 10mm medievals. Bases I got from Pendraken. Castles are cheap fish tank china castles. Some buildings are Leven and Battlescale.

Made some farms for the peasants from a doormat today.

Very cool. Not sure I'm that into the boardgames side, but this looks brilliant and I love 10mm.

Doormat fields look great

Nice Miniatures. The Castle looking great. 3D Printed?

Thank you!

The large castles are cheap fish tank castles I bought from a china store. The smaller ones I looted from Crusader Kings boardgame. All siege weapons I've got printed.

Looking great! Certainly further ahead than I expected a prototype to be! Keep up the good work.

Thank you!

May I present my first expansions titled Poachers and Wizards!

(The whole combat system will be overhauled soon, to include formations where archers may fire volleys if they do not need to be engaged in melee.)
