The Nobility expansion is the first and essential expansion for Champ d'Honneur, acclaimed by the community as an almost essential enrichment of the base game. It introduces 4 new units from the medieval nobility — the Count, the Banneret, the Herald, and the Bishop — as well as two entirely new mechanics: Seals of Proclamation and Royal Decrees. It also includes hexagonal control markers that replace those of the base game for much better board readability, and a historical setup re-enacting the famous Battle of Bosworth of 1485.
How to play with the Noblesse expansion?
Game Setup
- Mix the 4 new Unit cards(Count, Banneret, Herald, Bishop) with those from the base game for drafting.
- Integrate the 19 corresponding Unit piecesinto the common supply.
- Deal each player their 3 Proclamation Seals, placed face up in front of them.
- Randomly draw 3 cards from the 7 Royal Decree cardsand place them face up in the center of the table — these define the special rules available to both players for the entire game.
- Replace the control markers from the base gamewith the 16 new hexagonal markersfrom the expansion — much more visible under the Unit pieces.
- The rest of the setup follows the usual rules of Champ d'Honneur.
Gameplay outline
Two new mechanics enhance each turn:
- Proclamation Seals: once per turn, you can spend a Sealto activate one of the 3 Royal Decrees available in the game. Each Decree offers an exceptional action—Sacrifice, Diplomacy, Mobilization—that goes beyond the scope of usual actions. With only 3 Seals per player per game, their use is a strong and irreversible tactical choice.
- New units: each has a distinctive ability. The Bishopis immune to attacks from reinforced units. The Banneretcan move an opposing piece to an adjacent square—one of the most disruptive abilities in the game. The Heraldgains power in the presence of other allied units. The Countcombines passive utility with synergy with Decrees.
Win/Loss Condition
Identical to the base game: the first player to place all their control markerson the key points of the board wins.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Book your Seals for truly decisive moments
With only 3 Seals per game, every expense must be carefully considered. Don't waste them at the beginning of the game to recover from a bad draw. Keep at least one for the pivotal momentwhen a Royal Decree can reverse a losing position or secure an ongoing victory.
-
Identify the Edicts available before drafting your units
The 3 Edicts drawn at the start of the gamedefine the exceptional actions available. If one of them favors support units, orient your draft accordingly. Nobility rewards players who adapt their army composition to the game context, not those who always play the same units.
-
The Banneret is your most dangerous — and most targeted — piece.
The Banneret's ability tomove an enemy piececan create catastrophic situations for the enemy: isolated unit, exposed control pawn, broken defense column. Expect your opponent to target it first. Protect it with cover units as soon as it is deployed.
FAQ – All about the Noblesse expansion for Field of Honor
Is the Noblesse expansion truly essential or just a nice-to-have?
The community is unanimous: Nobility is considered almost essentialfor groups that regularly play Champ d'Honneur. The hexagonal markers alone almost justify the purchase, and the Royal Decrees open up a level of tactical depth that was missing from the base game.
Can Nobility be combined with the Siege expansion?
Yes, both expansions are fully compatible and combinable. Playing with both simultaneously is even recommended for experienced players: Decrees can interact with Fortifications in a particularly tactical way, creating unprecedented situations.
Are all 7 Royal Decrees balanced?
Most are, but some groups identify the SacrificeEdict as particularly strong in certain draft configurations. By randomly drawing 3 Edicts out of 7 each game, variety is ensured and no single Edict systematically dominates.
Does the expansion actually fix the Royal Guard from the base game?
Yes. Following community feedback, Noblesse includes arevised version of the Royal Guard tactic, along with an official FAQ to clarify ambiguous rules. A welcome fix for groups that had identified this issue in the base game.
