25th Century Games
The use of various symbols and devices to signify individuals and groups dates to the age of antiquity. Warriors often decorated their shieldswith patterns and mythological creatures.
Heraldry refers to the design, display and study of armorial bearings, a shield used to identify a person or family. The concepts and systems of regular heraldic designs were developed by heraldic officers between 1000AD and 1300AD during a period known as the High Middle Ages.
Originally conceived to assist with identification in battle, the beauty and intricacy of various heraldic designs meant that they survived the abandonment of armor on the battlefield and preserved the honor of the family line. To this day, we still see their use by individuals, organizations, corporations, towns, cities, and regions.
To blazon arms means to describe them in the language of Heraldry, which has its own vocabulary, syntax and grammar based strongly on an anglicized version of Norman-French.
A game of Blazon allows you to act as a herald, designing your own heraldic shield by acquiring elements, placing them on your Shield board, and earning distinctions through careful choices.

I love the thematic pieces in this game, and the blend of luck and strategy.

Good but the instructions could be better
This is actually a lot of fun, I had to deduct a few points because the rules are not at all clear. I had to refer to board game geek.com and look at several different faqs. It would seem that I am not the only one that was confused, there are a lot of threads on bgg clarifying the rules Have yet to play anything other then the solo campaign. I have yet to win, it is actually quite difficult. Near misses each time. The system used for paying for your cards reminds me of sylvion by shadi torbey. The game itself is beautiful and I like how the instructions actually try to teach you about actual heraldry. I would recommend this but be aware that you are going to have to look up the faq that explains the distinction cards The tincture placement rules. The row alignments and what to do when the decks run out exc. All and all solid 3 out of 5
