Oriflamme – Medieval Tactics, Bluff, and Treachery

The crown is within reach... can you keep it?

The king is dead without an heir. In Oriflamme, you play as the leader of an influential family ready to do anything to seize the throne. To win, you must place your cards face down in a common line of influence. Will you reveal your Archer to eliminate a rival or keep your Spy hidden to steal opponents' points? Each turn is a permanent dilemma between caution and aggression.

The goal of the game? Accumulate the most influence points by strategically playing your cards and eliminating those of your competitors.

A merciless influence line mechanic

The gameplay relies on a unique, constantly evolving queue:

• Place face down: Each player places a card at the beginning or end of the line. No one knows what you are preparing, creating immediate psychological tension.

• Tactical Resolution: Each turn, you decide: leave your card face down to accumulate points, or reveal it to activate its devastating power.

• Deadly Abilities: Soldier, Assassin, Heir... each character has a unique ability that can destroy an opponent's card, move forces, or double your gains.

• Anticipation and Bluff: Observe your opponents' play. Have they set a trap? Are they preparing a massive attack? Success depends on your ability to read their minds.
