Oriflamme board game

Oriflamme is a card game for three to five players in which the heads of noble houses compete for a vacant throne after the king's death. Each player leads a family and gathers influence by playing cards and activating their abilities. The rules are quick to learn, yet bluffing, deduction and intrigue make every round tactically rich and unpredictable.

Each player starts with ten identical cards, three of which are set aside face down. The remaining cards are placed face down in a single row, and whenever a card is revealed its effect must be resolved right away. Characters stay in the row and keep their abilities active, while influence tokens are collected from cards left face down, so every choice carries risk.

The box contains 55 cards measuring 61 x 112 mm, 70 influence tokens in values of 1 and 5, a starting player marker, a direction marker for revealing cards and the rulebook. A game takes about 15 to 30 minutes and is suitable for ages 10 and up.
