#OTD 1419, King of Bohemia Wenceslaus IV died. His brother Sigismund of Luxembourg, Holy Roman King, became a rightful heir to the throne. As the Hussite revolution is slowly turning to the bloody phase it won't be easy for him to be crowned in the city of Prague. He will try to claim his heritage as a leader of the First Crusade against Hussites in Spring 1420. This campaign is the subject of one of the scenarios in my upcoming #LevyandCampaign game Žižka.

We had a great #LevyandCampaign Žižka playtest session yesterday. Two games in parallel, two different scenarios. In one game, Crusaders forced a lightly defended Prague to surrender after quick negotiations (you may notice ravaged land around). Meanwhile, Hussite gained foothold in both Western and Eastern Bohemia. The result was very close. Now to more balancing and simplification sparked by both games...

Tonight's playtest of #LevyandCampaign Žižka scenario Land Without King. Hussites were able to force both Prague Fortresses to surrender early on securing the victory.

Yesterday's "Turning Point - 1420" scenario playtest of upcoming #LevyandCampaign series game Žižka. Some nuances added to Capability cards and some nearly invisible balance changes made. And a new very interesting use of Cause cards suggested by the playtester. Thanks!

My #levyandcampaign board game Žižka hit its preorder threshold yesterday. Thanks to everyone supporting the game. https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1060-ika-reformation-and-crusade-in-hussite-bohemia-1420-1421.aspx

Skvělý úvod do #LevyandCampaign série a detailní představení hry Inferno od @Fotrik Včetně zamyšlení, zda je série jen pro dva hráče, nebo ji lze hrát i sólo. https://valkyvjednom.blogspot.com/2023/12/predstaveni-hry-inferno-guelphs-and.html

My first design diary about #LevyandCampaign Žižka is out. Have you ever wondered what an existing system can deliver by tackling the parameters and conditions only? Although the game will come with a lot of new rules, in this case it is about changes that cannot be easily spotted in the rulebook.

Field research for #LevyandCampaign Žižka at the ruins of Krasikow castle yesterday. I was keen to see the size of this stronghold which changed hands several times during the Hussite Wars.

Sunday morning playtest of #LevyandCampaign Žižka with my son. We have revisited the smallest scenario Heretic Hunters - 1420.

I have released for playtest the last scenario in my #LevyandCampaign Žižka game package. It is called Turning Point and shows the situation right after the failure of the First Crusade against the Hussites. Historically it led to the first major clash of Hussite wars, the bloody Battle of Vyšehrad.
