Watch “Preview of Chesney - Fantasy Social Deduction Board Game,” a board game review for Chesney from Party Tails Games on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Party Tails Games on YouTube:

Travel to the kingdom of Catrolia and fight for your faction to gain power with the fantasy, social deduction board game Chesney. It’s a hidden role game with more mechanics than pure bluffing, which we always enjoy. The fantasy elements reminded us of Zelda, so the theming of the game scored high points too! We’ll give you all of our thoughts on Chesney in our full preview video. Chesney is coming to Kickstarter on January 4th, 2023! Sign up now to get notified! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymcstudio/chesney Find out more about Chesney and Y+MC Studio: https://www.instagram.com/ymc_studio https://linktr.ee/ymcstudio From the publisher: “Chesney is a faction game, that is suitable for players who love social deduction, and provides a game platform for players who focus on strategy or who like to create chaos. Besides the dual factions system, the game has a variety of rich characters matched with multi-element hand cards. The player's goal is to lead their faction to be the only faction in the conflict zone.” Are you excited for Chesney? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

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
