Way before there were any video games there was a board game that you played as one of the sides in ‘The War of the Roses’, House of Plantagenet or House of Lancaster/ House of York. It was fun, and was called Kingmaker..................

Plenty of dog-whistle-racist-sexist-white-supremicy-micro-aggression in THAT one, I’ll betcha!

Good game. I still have my copy around here somewhere.

I still have my AH copy of Kingmaker. Unfortunately buried in my storage unit for the near future.

It is still played by the board wargaming community.

I had forgotten about Kingmaker.

I was a bit of an Avalaon Hill game geek back in the day, but Kingmaker was one I never got around to playing, although it looked pretty good.
