Title: The princess bride.
Post by: quevy on February 28, 2012, 09:02:29 AM
Today at work I imagined a small variant on the tiles of the princess.

Who draws a tile of these, may place a meeple princess, to distinguish it from normal ones will place him lying (like a farmer), in the sense of the game each player with at least one knight in the city, may (if desired) to ask her hand in marriage . Who has the bride may choose whether to accept or reject.

A princess placed in the city, earn one point for each tile.
The Knights did not take points from the pennant, because committed to woo the princess.
Each time you add a knight in the city, the player can make a new proposal of marriage.

In case of marriage, the knight who becomes prince, will be lying in the city. A Prince is as 1 big meeple, if it is a great meeple its value is 3 meeple normal. In the case of supremacy in the city, the Prince counting points normally.
Once married the princess also receives 2 points from each pennant.

I have not read all the topic of variations or expansions, I hope it's an original idea, do you like?

Or, you could use this meeple from Meeple Source.

Yes, I know this, a little credit for the idea comes from that very meeple, I'm waiting to have the money to order meeple zombies, if you buy also add this.

I forgot to say that of course a bride of a color can not marry a knight of the same color.

I ask you an opinion on this, if you like the idea,  I ask for help from someone I know to write in English to understand the regulation.

Go ahead and explain how you want it to work as best you can, and I'm sure somebody will help to write the English rules.

If anyone has suggestions for improvement, I think the rules are all here, hoping that you have to understand.
What an ugly being lazy when you went to school and not having learned English well. : ')

I was thinking anyway to use normal meeple for this, to recognize those who have the princess and prince, unless you use a token of colored cardboard to put under. There are 6 pieces of princess, it's hard to remember them all.

Another meeple-choice-idea: there will be Die Frau (woman) meeple in the upcoming mini-expansion Die Depeschen, so you will be able to use it as a princess.

Or could use the mayor as a princess and a prince to use a builder.
