In 1413, the new king of England, Henry V of Lancaster, has ambitious plans: The unification of England and the conquest of the French crown! Each player takes the role of an ambitious aristocratic family. Who will be the best supporter of this young king, and the most powerful Lord of his time? In Lancaster the players want to proceed from simply being a Lord to the most powerful ally of the king. They may achieve this by developing their own knighthood as well as by clever deployment of individual knights in the counties of England, at their own castle, and to conflicts with France. In parliament, they try to push laws from which they will benefit themselves most. The player with the most power points at the end of the game is the winner.

This is a learning game!:

This game is inspired by the Portuguese Age of Discoveries in the 15th-16th century. Players take actions such as contracting men, acquiring ships and buildings, sailing the seas, establishing colonies in discovered lands, trading goods on the market, and getting privileges. Each player starts with only two ships and three workers and tries to expand his wealth. There are several undiscovered lands that allow players, once discovered, to found some colonies there. Colonies exist in different places where sugar, gold and spices are available and can be sold to the market to make some money. Money is used to build ships, erect buildings such as factories, shipyards and churches, and to get workers. Workers are necessary to found colonies or to acquire buildings and privileges, which exist in five categories and therefore encourage players to follow different strategies competing with each other. At the end of the game the player who is most successful in combining his privileges with his achievements (colonies, factories, discoveries, shipyards, and churches) is the winner.

I will bring Maria.  It is a deep and strategic war game, which is unique because it is specifically designed to be played by 3 players.  It has got to be one of my favourite games.  You can watch a video review of it here:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/video/31556/maria/a-review-of-maria-this-one-should-be-rated-much-hi

I think we will be able to finish a game in 3-4 hours (including explanation) so ill aim for a start time of 6:30.

PS there are 2-player rules too, but it is not really worth playing that way, in my opinion.

[Dana_Tillusz]

Wow, great to see Maria coming out. I'm booked into a game already or else I'd get in on that action. Plan for at least 4 hours though....
