Description
Richard the Third is an epic two-player wargame that recreates the bloody dynastic struggle in the 15th century between the royal houses of Lancaster and York for the throne of England.
Will the mad-king Henry VI and his Queen Margaret keep the throne or will the Duke of York recover it for the Plantagenets. Also strutting across the game's stage are Edward IV, Richard III, Henry VII, and Warwick, the notorious "Kingmaker".
The object of play is to eliminate all five enemy heirs and/or win control of the powerful nobles of England.
The Lancastrians start the game holding the throne, and the Yorkists are in exile ready to invade. Kingship can be won or lost several times during the game.
Will Richard III emerge triumphant, or will he perish in battle as he did historically?
The game is currently 1-player-vs-AI and local-2-player (a.k.a. hot seat)

I'm tired of making excuses for Avalon Digital. It's a lovely *looking* game. But the engine fails to follow the rules as designed, and what use is a digital adaptation at that point? The reps from Avalon even whined on

The AI is terrible. I can set it to aggressive and do nothing and win. That's to say, I use none of the points on my cards for movement or recruitment. I take advantage of none of the cards for forced March, plague,

I've owned the physical board game for some time now and I often find playing an app is the best way to learn the rules, especially before I teach it to others at a games night. I thought i'd splash out and finally

I love the block games from Columbia Games and I do own several of the physical boardgames. I was pretty excited when I heard that these block games were being developed, and bought Blocks! Richard III. The first few

I love Columbia block games, but this implementation is not good. There are just too many issues that I have to fully list here, but a few include: poor integration of rules within the game itself (pointing to an

This was my first purchase of a block game tabletop adaptation. Next time I will just buy the actual tabletop version. The computer version is a little too simplistic in terms of graphics and game play to compete with
