Camlyn's
Destiny features:
Camlyn's Destiny is a 2-4 player boardgame that
combines the elements of a "war" game with the additional strategies of card
play.
Setting Tax Rates - the tax rate
you choose will determine your popularity with the peasants
‘Your highness, I don’t think that ‘taxing those grubby dirt-farmers back to
their mother’s womb’ will do much for your public image…’
- Hendell Grayford, King’s Accountant
Balancing your Kingdom Happiness
- the happier the peasantry, the more power you wield and the more you can get
away with
‘Those who say you can have too much of a good thing…have never HAD too much
of a good thing!’
- Karrel Blackchain, mercenary
Building your peasantry to raise funds - grow your kingdom into the
largest and richest in the land 'Money can’t buy you happiness …yeah, RIGHT!’
- Karrel Blackchain, mercenary
Making and breaking alliances -
Stand with your enemies as friends.... for now.
‘I see in your future…much pain…I see in your future…much bloodshed…I see in
your future…much uncertainty…’
- Lyssa Farseeer, Oracle
Establishing your military presence
- Fight you enemies with anything from a pitchfork wielding peasant to an
armored knight on horseback.
‘So, these battle plans indicate that you expect a handful of untrained
peasants to hold this hillock against, if our spies are right, at least 50 armed
knights and a pair of Stone Throwers. For now, I’ll just assume that you’re
tired rather than bukakke pics incredibly stupid…’
- Southern, sergeant-at-arms
Laboring for resources and equipment
- Which resources will you manufacture? Wood? Iron? Stone?
‘Let me put it this way. We’re sitting on top of more iron than we know what
to do with. In fact, I could rebuild this entire fortification with refined iron
and still have enough to build a footbridge to the
american bukkake! But we don’t have
enough timber to make two volleys of arrows for our bowmen! YES, I think this is
a problem…’
- Donald Lyman, knight
Discovering Artifacts on Crusades
- Crusades can be the turning point in the game.... either way.
‘The Sword of Chaos. Some say it’s in the lair of an Amber-Griffin, some say
it’s buried deep beneath the earth, some say it is in a vault in the King’s
castle, guarded by an enthralled legion of assassins. In any event, all of the
legends surrounding the Sword of Chaos indicate that hardship,
asian bukkake, loss, and a
terrible, painful death are the likely outcomes of such a quest. Me? I like a
challenge…’
- Perrin Goldmane, Knight of St. Bridgit
Cardplay - He who holds the most
cards, often holds the most power... if he uses it wisely.
‘Urrrggggghaagghg….’
- Steader Dieter Fielding, last words
