Join us live as we commemorate the 503rd anniversary of the world's most lavish three-week-long party - the meeting of Kings Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France in a field famously known as 'The Field of the Cloth of Gold.'
In this special livestream, we have the privilege of welcoming Amabel Holland, the brilliant mind behind the game, 'The Field of the Cloth of Gold.' Watch as Amabel takes us through the intricacies of her masterpiece, unraveling the threads of strategic decision-making and the unique 'point salad' paradigm.
But that's not all! Witness as your humble host pits his wits against his notorious nemesis, the one and only Joe Dewhurst. Prepare for a showdown of royal proportions, filled with a delicate balance of friendly gestures, cut-throat strategy, and cunning timing.
Will we be able to maximize our scoring opportunities? Can we force our rival to score before they're ready? Watch as we smile through gritted teeth, manoeuvre our way through intense strategy, and walk the fine line between denial and concession.
But this isn't just a game night; we're delving deep into the world of game design, gaining invaluable insights from Amabel herself. How did she breathe life into this spectacular celebration and turn it into a strategically rich game? Stay tuned to find out!
So buckle up and get ready for a rollercoaster ride filled with grandeur, strategy, and a touch of polite viciousness. Remember, all's fair in love, war, and wargaming. Subscribe and hit that bell icon so you won't miss this royal extravaganza!
May the best King win!
