Oriflamme: Alliance is a strategy and bluffing game that enriches the Oriflamme universe with a new way to conquer power. The great families of the kingdom no longer act alone: they now form temporary alliances to manipulate the political balance and gain the upper hand at the decisive moment. Accessible yet full of tactical choices, this standalone game retains all the tension of hidden cards and revelations while introducing more interactions and twists. Between influence, manipulation, and reading the opponent's game, each round becomes an elegant yet unpredictable confrontation.
How to play Oriflamme: Alliance?
Game Setup
- Each player receives a set of cards representing their noble family as well as their specific abilities. An influence pool is placed in the center of the table to track participants' progress.
- Unlike the first Oriflamme, this version introduces new cards and new dynamics that foster interaction between players and the creation of temporary balances around the table.
Gameplay outline
- The game is played over several rounds.
- In each turn, all players secretly choose a card from their hand and then place it at the beginning or end of their personal line.
- Once all cards are played, they are revealed in order and activate their effects. Some cards allow you to gain influence, others to eliminate characters, or to modify the dynamic of the round.
- The core of the game remains timing management: a card left hidden accumulates influence over the turns but also becomes more exposed to opposing actions.
- The novelty of Alliance comes from its more direct interactions and the opportunities for temporary cooperations that naturally appear during the game before giving way to twists and turns.
Win/Loss Condition
- At the end of the final round, all players tally their influence points.
- The player with the most political prestige wins the game and takes control of the kingdom.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Hide your true intentions from the start
Leading others to believe in a different strategy often causes them to waste their important cards.
-
Use alliances as a temporary tool
Helping an opponent at the right time can sometimes be more profitable than immediately trying to gain an advantage.
-
Focus on long-term value cards
Cards that remain hidden for several turns often become major sources of influence.
