Hey there! Thank you for checking out my review of HerStory, a board game all about iconic women of history! I was so excited when Underdog Games offered to send me a review copy of this game! Lately I've been finding that I really appreciate a game that teaches you something while you play and this game does that better than perhaps any other game I've played! (And you know I've played hundreds!) There's always something new and interesting to explore in this game and I appreciate that the game encourages everyone to read a bio of one of the women in their book out loud at the end of the gameβit allows you to learn more about a famous woman that resonates with you in some way! π
Don't forget that HerStory is currently on sale for just $19.19 which is more than 60% off the MSRP if you use the link below! (No, it's not an affiliate link: just a promo discount link!) This deal is only for the month of March (and apparently only while supplies last) so don't put it off if it seems like a game you'd love to have in your collection!

About HerStory, from BoardGameGeek:
In HerStory, you're an acclaimed author, writing a book to tell the stories of remarkable women of history. Players take turns doing research, drafting chapters, and completing them for points and possibly for research symbols or special powers. The game ends when a player has written eight chapters, and the player with the highest scoring book wins.
The game is a light strategy game featuring engine-building and set collection. You do research by collecting research tokens, and by doing the right research, you can complete chapters about different historical women, for points.
Completed chapters grant abilities that make you a better writer, and allow you to score even more points as the game progresses. You can set yourself for big point windfalls with the right combination of powers.
The game comes with 120 oversized, linen-finish cards with beautiful illustrations of the featured historical figures on the fronts, and stories about their lives on the backs.
