Heraldry, which involves the design, display, and study of armorial bearings, dates back to the High Middle Ages (1000 AD - 1300 AD). It was originally for battlefield identification but still has wide use today. In Blazon, you act as a herald, designing your own heraldic shield. Score Prestige by placing Element cards on your Shield board and earn bonus Prestige through distinctions. The player with the most Prestige at the end wins and becomes the King of Arms. The game is played in sequential turns. On your turn, choose between an Acquire action (draw Element cards from decks) or a Blazon action (place cards on your Shield board). You can also use Herald tokens for special actions. The game ends when a player reaches 50 Prestige, fills their Shield board, or claims their final Distinction award. At TheGameSteward, we're happy to back campaigns and bring you this great game. A large part of your spending on Blazon Deluxe Edition will support new Kickstarter games.
