Chesney Boardgame | Kickstarter Trailer

Watch “Chesney Boardgame | Kickstarter Trailer,” a board game review for Chesney from YMC Studio on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by YMC Studio on YouTube:

Chesney is a faction game suitable for players who love social deduction and provides a game platform for players who focus on strategy or who like to create chaos. The game is available for 4 to 10 players. We are going to launch it on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymcstudio/chesney Game Features Besides the dual factions system, the game has a variety of rich characters matched with multi-element hand cards. The environment where their respective factions change anytime creates an unpredictable battle situation and who will stand until the last moment. Players will not rush out during the game and will contribute in their way. The player's goal is to lead their faction to be the only faction in the conflict zone. After 3 rounds, the highest score to achieve the final victory. Game Background The forest kingdom "Catrolia" is going through a chaotic era, and the king encounters an assassination without having yet to name an heir to the throne. The 4 major factions in the territory set off a power struggle, but due to the control of the Central Army and the fear of being jointly attacked, none of them hastily raised troops. So the parties evolved into intelligence wars, secret battles, and win-over forces, trying to expand their influence. As a native, put yourself in this faction wrestling in the forest kingdom of "Catrolia", Fight hard for your honor and help the faction that matches your ideals to resolve kingdom disputes! Game Design Background Publisher: YMC Studio We are a Hong Kong couple who love to play board games, and it took almost 2 years to create this board game in our spare time. The original intention is to hope that during the post-epidemic period, there will be a board game that can be played by a bigger group of friends, but it is not limited to purely eloquent confrontation. During the game's design, we created a worldview and story for her, hoping that if the fundraising is successful in the future, it will pave the way for the story's continued development.

About Chesney, from BoardGameGeek:

Chesney is a game filled with elements of strategy, social deduction, and factions that may change throughout the game. At the start of the game, Faction and Character Cards (for Advanced Mode) are not revealed. Players can freely converse and make any claims at any time during the game. On your turn, you need to take different actions using the cards or characters in your hand to find potential allies or defeat potential enemies during the game. The goal of each round of the game is to have only one faction remaining in control of the battlefield. Please note that factions are not static or fixed. With the Dual Faction card system, players may change their own or another Faction. This is absolutely a chaotic yet compelling faction game. Challenge your social skills and strategic thinking (or maybe your luck), and become a legend in the Kingdom of Catrolia! -description from the publisher
