Description
In Tudor, you are a Lord in the court of King Henry VIII. Here you will be positioning your Courtiers among the influential Lords who grant you actions that allow you to maneuver your family members to high title offices and gain their respective Rings of prestige and power.
Players take turns placing their Courtiers into the three Audience Chambers, each with unique actions. Then each player will place their one Lord in a Chamber of their choice. Only Courtiers in an Audience Chamber with any player's Lord present will be able to use that Chamber’s actions. But be careful, since there are only a limited number of seats available in each Chamber and competing families can push you out of a Chamber!
Then all player Courtiers, in Chambers with a Lord, take turns performing ONE of the two Actions in their Chambers. The powerful Lords may also take both actions in the Chamber they occupy. Chamber Actions allow you to gain Court Cards and to move your Courtiers in the Throne Room onto spaces with square Court Tokens that represent various faction interests and demands at the court. You collect these Court Tokens, which are one way to gain Prestige at court.
When you reach the top space of a Court Office in the Royal Court, you will gain that title - represented by a Ring. A player's Rings are placed and displayed on their individual Player Hand Screens. Positioning your Rings on different fingers project your interests, intent, and inclinations to the other players, because different positions enhance specific Actions that your Courtiers take in the Audience Chambers!
You must always be vigilant, because another players can seize your Court Office, kicking your Office Holder out in disgrace and then taking one of YOUR Rings!
The player with the most prestige at game end wins!
In each game of Tudor, you will choose to play one of many scenario cards, each with their own special rules that can alter the game in dramatic ways. In addition, choose two different scoring cards to vary gameplay, creating a strategic experience with exceptional replayability.

Quotes (from this video)
- I think Marty for silver River the name of the game one of the neatest aspects for me was how I got my Reece.
- Where's the conflict Marty where is the Connolly if you're going to have a 4x game there's got to be some conflict.
- Battle does not automatically occur typically in games when you move into a place where somebody else is you immediately fight that's not the case here here you can move in you could be peaceful or if you want to you could say I guess what I'm gonna fight you and we're gonna attack each other.
- So there's a bluffing mechanic when you're going against other people I like that.
- If you're in for 4x type game but you don't want to spend your entire afternoon playing twilight imperium or eclipse then you definitely want to check out silver River that is now currently on Kickstarter.
- The Team's expansion for some of the board game and then finally Tony thank goodness my wallet can't stand anymore there's I know but this one comes out March 13th so you've got basically on the release of this you got one day to save up money to pick up Glen Moore 2 chronicles which we got a prototype of this is by fun tells game and Mattias Kramer the designer who did the original Glenmore.
- number one it's a rondell I'm into rondell selection mechanics so I was automatically into this game there was a lot of strategy in that rondell on which tiles you won't pick up.
- beautiful mechanic of placing a tile activating all the tiles around it very important strategy so much going on there a lot of strategy in that game.
- The scoring mechanism for all these is what you have compared to the person with the least amount.
- I hate that I missed playing Glenmore the first time around but now that I've played it I'm so glad to see this new version coming out and like you told me I'm excited to own a copy of this game.
- Hey y'all thanks for listening when this episode comes out there will only be a couple days left for the BoardGameGeek best podcast golden geek nomination oh that's a mouthful we would love your nomination and if nominations are already out and if we were so lucky to get one we would love to have your vote thank you so much for supporting your show over all these years and we'll see you next episode.

- The fact that you saying I'll wait. It it it it's not so much of a problem because you're only waiting weeks, months. Usually the game's announced and it's out a month or two later and it's usually already printed and and shipping, which is the crazy part.
