Henchmania: Second Edition

About this board game

Henchmania: Second Edition is a strategic medieval board game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Each player becomes the Lord of one of four families, directing loyal—and often monstrous—henchmen in a battle for influence and prestige.

Set in an odd medieval universe, the game combines scheming, conflict, and darkly comic flair in a setting described as a cross between Game of Thrones and Monty Python. Your goal is to become the new seneschal of Montfleury by earning more prestige than your opponents.

Over the course of four days, capture parts of the city and use your influence to advance your family’s position. There are many ways to gain prestige, but just as many opportunities to lose it. At the end of each day, all players count their points before the next day begins.

• Play as the Lord of one of four families.
• Command loyal henchmen who will do anything to serve their master.
• Capture parts of the city and compete for influence.
• Earn prestige through a variety of actions and strategies.
• Win by scoring the most prestige over four days, or by reaching 30 points first.

Battle, strut, pray, and denigrate in a no-holds-barred struggle for power. Henchmania: Second Edition brings a new gameplay experience and a new design, along with two planned expansions for the Kickstarter campaign’s main pledge. These expansions are also planned as a separate upgrade pack for supporters of the first edition.
