Product Description:
Loyaulte Me Lie is an introductory, tactical-level board game for two players simulating the battle of Bosworth Field, fought on August 22, 1485, which was the last significant battle of the War of the Roses. Playing pieces represent the "battles" of Henry Tudor, Richard the Third, Lord Stanley, and William Stanley. One player plays the Yorkist side and the other the Tudor side. There are twelve turns, each about 30 minutes of real time.
Loyalty may have bound Richard the Third but he lived in treacherous times and it was treachery that ended his life and his reign as king of England. That and perhaps poor tactical decisions. He died by all accounts bravely fighting to the last probably on the newly-discovered battle site in marshy ground called Fen Hole, not calling out 'A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse', as Shakespeare imagined, but, in the words of a near contemporary chronicler: 'Treachery, treachery, treachery.'
After five years of searching, battlefield archaeologists have revealed that the actual site of the battle of Bosworth is on Alf Oliver’s farm, two miles away from Ambion Hill, where the Bosworth Visitor center was built. The crucial evidence, including badges of the supporters of both kings, sword mounts, coins and 28 cannonballs, was found in fields straddling Fen Lane in the Leicestershire parish of Upton, where no historian had looked before. In fact, more battle-related items have been found in that area than on any ancient battlefield in Europe. The new area is used in this game as the basis for the game map.
Even more dramatically, Richard III's body was found last August in a roughly-hewn grave, excavated from the site of the medieval Greyfriars friary of the city of Leicester, now a parking lot, about 12 miles from the newly discovered battlefield site. Mitochondrial DNA extracted from the bones was matched to Michael Ibsen, a Canadian cabinetmaker and direct descendant of Richard III's sister, Anne of York, and a second distant relative, who wished to remain anonymous. Archaeologists found evidence of ten wounds on the body, two to the head, which they believe were inflicted at or around the time of death. The head injuries, either of which would have been fatal, suggest the king had lost his helmet in the battle.

Grading System
Please review the exact condition and any condition notes or incompleteness notes (next to the title and description above) for the exact condition of this item. All pictures are stock photos.
Our grading system is as follows:
SW Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with condition visible through shrink noted. For example, ‘SW (NM)’ means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.
MINT Perfect. Brand new.
NM Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board games in this condition may be played but show little to no wear.
EX Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.
VG Very Good. Used. May have medium sized creases, scuff marks, very small stain, etc. Complete and very useable.
FAIR Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, a loose map, etc.
POOR Extremely well used and has major flaws, which may be too numerous to mention. Item is complete unless noted.
- Boxed items are listed as ‘code/code’ where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition. If a book is listed in the same fashion, the first code represents the cover, and the second code the interior.
- A ‘+’ (plus) sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A ‘-’ (minus) sign indicates the opposite.
- Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.
- Boardgame counters are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable we will send you the parts or it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
- In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
- The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as ‘card worn.’
- Flat trays for SPI games are not graded, and have the usual problems. If excessively worn, they will be marked as ‘tray worn.’
