Only the best board game fans know about Oriflamme. And for a very good reason: it's a fantastic and demanding game that everybody can play, but only a few can master.

Awarded for Best Game in 2020 both for the French As d'Or award and the U.K Game Expo judges award, this game is mostly about cards, action queue, betting, hand management and conflict resolution.

That's why It totally fits with his theme about the French royal crown.

In Oriflamme, the players find themselves in the middle of a medieval feud over the French royal crown. The King is dead! Long live the King! As heads of influential families, the players strive to come to power with cunning and malice, power and strength, virtue and infamy. Their goal: the king's throne!

In this tactical card game, hidden cards are played in turn. By tactically uncovering and activating their effects, players can outdo or get them out of the way, because all players have the same goal in mind β€” to collect the most influence points for their family and thus win the game.

It can't be Flanders; he would be holding the knife in his left hand.

Played some games, so far, I like it !

some questions / adjustments :

- why does the game ask for discard confirmation once a discardable card has been activated (action could be auto performed) ?
- maybe put a better zooming (in terms of +++), this would allow to be able to read directly from the cards and not hover over them & wait for the white text box to appear: this would feel as playing with the real cards
- better explain the overlapping card option: some people don't read the rule.. and try to figure the game by exploring it (at least for this kind of game)

Do you have any idea if the expansion (/ other standalone version) will see adaptation as well ?

Again, thank you for letting us discover new games and taking time to implement them !

Warm regards,
