Useful review. The heraldry looks neat but I do wonder about the durability of those stickers, especially if the blocks are being thrown in a draw bag.
Funny enough, after a few games I've had to order a replacement sticker sheet from Columbia Games ($10), as some of the stickers were getting worn exactly because of what you mentioned (draw bag). Once I replace the stickers, for this type of games (I own other block wargames), I think I will just shuffle the blocks vertically but looking away from the player - to avoid this issue. The English player especially does a lot of block shuffling and drawing at the end of each year, so it's definitely an issue.

@@clarkcommando1983 Good tip, thank you, I will try that! :)
Great overview of the game. I think the video would benefit greatly from Chapters
Thank you! I'll add them, I've just been lazy :)
