Lancaster: Henry V – The Power of the King

This expansion for the base game can be played with either or both of its modules. At the King’s Court adds royal offices that players contest by sending their lord, supporting knights, and the required tribute. Successful claims grant seals, an archer for battles in France, or a Tudor knight; upgraded knights can also provide bishops, which combine with seals for endgame scoring. The King’s Resentment introduces dishonor after lost conflicts. Players can remove dishonor by placing knights in the new tower location, while remaining dishonor costs points at the end of the game. The players with the most and second-most dishonor also lose additional points based on the king’s accumulated wrath. When both modules are used, eight additional laws enter the game.
