Description
The Field of the Cloth of Gold is a game of strategic one-upmanship, where two players take on the roles of King Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France, trying to outdo each other in a grand celebration of wealth and power. This 20-minute game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - it's a politely vicious competition where every action gives your opponent a potential advantage. With simple yet elegant gameplay, you'll need to maximize your scoring opportunities while denying them to your rival. As you play, you'll collect tiles and use them to score points, but be careful - every move you make will give your opponent a chance to strike back. With its unique blend of set collection and worker placement mechanics, The Field of the Cloth of Gold is a refreshing twist on traditional board games, and its short playtime makes it perfect for a quick and intense competition.
