Description

Yeomen: The 9 Card Agincourt Game is a quick and intense solitaire experience that drops you into the midst of the Battle of Agincourt, a pivotal moment in medieval history. As the commander of the French forces, you'll need to navigate the challenges of the battlefield, using a simple yet strategic card-driven system to outmaneuver the English army. With just 9 cards and a handful of cubes and dice, the game is remarkably streamlined, but don't let its small size fool you - the gameplay is engaging and challenging, with a unique blend of hand management, point-to-point movement, and battle card-driven mechanics. As you play through the game's 15-minute rounds, you'll draw event cards that present new challenges and opportunities, from withstanding English arrow fire to seizing the initiative in combat. The game's design, crafted by Chris Hansen, is easy to learn but tough to master, making it a great fit for fans of medieval warfare and solo gaming experiences. With its compact design and short playtime, Yeomen: The 9 Card Agincourt Game is perfect for a quick lunch break or evening session, and its historical theme and challenging gameplay make it a compelling choice for anyone looking to experience the thrill of medieval combat.
