Bloody Mary – Further Intrigue In The Tudor Court

by

Bloody Mary is the title of Gary Stevens’ free downloadable board game of intrigue in the Tudor Court. Stevens writes:

In this game you get to relive the politics of middle Tudor England as you strive to secure your candidate for the Throne… and keep your own head.

The game starts at the coronation of Henry VIII’s son Edward. It follows the history of mid-Tudor England for a further 25 years. You must plot to place your favoured candidate on the throne. You play the part of a faction of courtiers trying to preserve your power and influence. The game is solidly based in history (well, as solidly as I can make it). It is meant to be educational as well as entertaining.

Unternehmung 25 Postcard Wargame

by

Here’s a great concept: an entire hex and counter style board game on a post card:

The second V-Mail Postcard Game, UNTERNEHMUNG 25, chronicles the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. The basic game system is similar to the of its predecessor, Malaya. New elements include German mountain troops, Panzer Corps, air support, and the bombing of Belgrade, as well as the effects of mountain and river terrain. Hungarian and Italian troops also make an appearance.

Can you, as the Germans, make a lightning-fast assault and capture Belgrade in time to release units for the upcoming invasion of Russia? As the Yugoslavs, can you derail the German timetable and buy time for the Allies to react? It’s all up to you.

18 counters at the Corps and Army level and a full-color map of Yugoslavia- all on a 5×8 inch postcard!
