Wars of the Roses Due Out Summer 2008
In Hammer of the Scots, players turned enemy nobles by use of a Herald event card. This proved too crude a tool for the same in Wars of the Roses. Lord Clifford, for instance, swore vengeance against York after his father's death at the 1st battle of St. Albans, and nothing could have induced him to abandon the red rose after 1455.
Hence, we had to differentiate between those nobles who would never betray their allegiances and those who might.
We also had to allow for betrayal in the heat of battle, a necessity that inspired the idea of Crib cards. For instance, five major battles were largely determined by a timely betrayal.
