Arguable that the map displayed errors. They were deliberate ambiguities. The rules clearly stated that any dispute arising from map ambiguity would be determined by the player owning the Marshall. So there was no hard and fast rule, The discrepancy around Maldon is another.
I think an office (blue cards) can only be given to Nobles with titles. A noble can only have one title. They can only have one office ? Any excess offices go into Chancery
I used TitanShield orange 66x91 for the Crown cards, and Mayday "Sails of Glory" (50x75mm) for the Event cards. Not perfect, but the best I could find.
My question is why did he give Talbot two offices - the Chancellor of Chester *and* Warden of the Northern Marches? Especially since thze Warden would be perfect for Scrope.
I was saying “you can’t give a noble two offices” and illustrating this, and then I left it there by mistake … it should be with Scrope. If you skip to 26:10 you will see I say it has to go to Scrope, and illustrate what you cannot do. hope this helps ! Ricky
Ok. I got to Part 2. I love the game and am thrilled to hear there's a new edition. My main quibble is that it seems to devolve into a stand-off once all the heirs have been scooped up. The action kind of stalls as everyone rushes to their power centers to wait until an event card draws someone out.
@@patrickfitzgerald9589 right. The new edition looks to resolve that with a new game end condition: the Prestige victory, which really changes the way players can fight for victory.
It's a good question: I assume in the basic game, there was not room for everyone. As it goes, when Avalon Hill published their 2nd Edition of the game in 1988, they included a set of "Advanced Rules" which added Edmund into the Yorkist line of succession, 3rd after Richard of York and Edward of March. The new Gibsons version of the game (retail release May 2023), also includes Edmund in this new definitive version of the original game, that they refer to as the "Extended Classic."
I love this, you don't see enough folks pulling out the old versions of games. Everything is so focused on the new.
I've inherited a first printing of this and just tried my first play through using only the rule book provided. Wish I'd found this video before!
It is a great video. I wish you were in Tokyo..
Thanks Ricky, this series of videos is great, even for learning to play Kingmaker Classic with the new Gibson's edition.
That’s a cool version you have there. I have the Avalon Hill version with the one piece map from 1982 and have enjoyed playing it for many years.
I have this in my game closet. Great video!
24:00 If you have more titles than nobles, you would have to put the excess titles in chancery.
right, this was already covered 👍

true... though, if it were that intentional, they might not have 'fixed' it in later versions...but I guess that's why you said it was "arguable" :D

right; this was covered 👍
@@BoxofDelights yes. I wanted to correct my comment but youtube messed up :)
Which sleeves do you recommend to use for the cards?

Is there any particular reason why the game omits Edmund Earl of Rutland?
