Blocks Series (Richard III, Hammer of the Scots, Julius Caesar)

I was quite excited when I got to translate this franchise, as I am personally a big fan of the original board game and am glad to see it ported to PC. The translation has been an interesting process, involving some innovative treatment on the Chinese rendition of some of the game texts.

Sample translations:

"Richard the Third is an epic two-player wargame that recreates the bloody dynastic struggle in the 15th century between the royal houses of Lancaster and York for the throne of England.

Will the mad-king Henry VI and his Queen Margaret keep the throne or will the Duke of York recover it for the Plantagenets. Also strutting across the game's stage are Edward IV, Richard III, Henry VII, and Warwick, the notorious "Kingmaker".

The object of play is to eliminate all five enemy heirs and/or win control of the powerful nobles of England.
The Lancastrians start the game holding the throne, and the Yorkists are in exile ready to invade. Kingship can be won or lost several times during the game.

Will Richard III emerge triumphant, or will he perish in battle as he did historically?"

"史诗级双人战争游戏《理查德三世》重现了15世纪发生在兰卡斯特和约克家族之间为了争夺英格兰王位的血腥斗争。

疯子国王亨利六世和他的王后玛格丽特能保住王位吗？还是约克公爵会将王位收复给金雀花家族？同时出现在游戏舞台上的还有爱德华四世、理查德三世、亨利七世以及臭名昭著的“国王制造者”华威。

游戏的目标是消灭全部五个敌方继承人并且/或者控制英格兰的重要贵族。

兰卡斯特家族在游戏开始时控制着王位，而约克家族的人则在流放中，准备入侵英格兰。在一局游戏中王位可以获得和丢失多次。

理查德三世会取得胜利还是像历史中那样战死沙场呢？"
