About the game
Agincourt is, as far as the English are concerned, one of the most remarkable, and famous, battles in medieval history. Makes most Englishmen almost forget what a sour-faced prig Henry V really was. Outnumbered by as much as 4 to 1, tired, sick and in pitiful shape, Henry V’s rag-tag army raised the three basic precepts of English tactics of the era to their greatest height: the defensive power of the longbow, a good defensive position, and the effectiveness of a creative and powerful overall command. The French? They rolled sixes on life’s CRT all day. That, and having dozens of dukes and counts insist each one was supposed to be in command and at the head of every charge, plus a full morning’s carousing, didn’t help.

Questions and answers
Agincourt supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Agincourt is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Agincourt for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Agincourt has a complexity rating of 2.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Agincourt belongs to these categories: Wargame, Medieval, and Renaissance. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Hexagon Grid, and Simulation. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Agincourt are: Richard H. Berg and Rodger B. MacGowan. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Agincourt as an expansion for Men of Iron. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Men of Iron to use it. Check that your edition of Men of Iron is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
