📖 About This Game
For centuries members of noble families often married their relatives. In the case of regal kings and queens; this meant some heirs were born with “issues” or would have perished in birth. It would also reduce their intelligence, which in turn impacted the monarch's ability to rule.
In this game you will manipulate shield heraldry tiles; tiles Representing bloodlines of six interbreeding noble families. The tradition of Intermarriages is centuries old. Once a dynasty had their power they were never willing to relinquish it. This will all take place on the family crests board to produce your own clandestine family crest. you will help choose which family name will blunder through the annals of history.
Will it be the boisterous Barkhouses’ or the silver-tongued Spongs‘? maybe the dapper De La Poles’ will remain, who knows; but never count out the raucous Rainecourts‘, they are always causing mischief. Although, I did hear that the Greedy Grabhams’ are trying to set up a marriage with the ageless Applebottoms‘. Will it succeed? That one may haps, you will help decide.
