Thank you!! Casebooks sound really interesting too; I spend my days reading diaries and execution records so I’m there with you 😂

Other than Astrologaster, the ones I’ve managed to find are Hampton Court, and an old Tudors tv series find the item game. I think the monarchs are briefly mentioned in Civ and/or Crusader Kings, but I’m surprised there isn’t more about them!

Yes this is a great one! She’s mentioned a few times, which works well.

The monarchs ideally, but even the general period is great as long as the game is set in England!

I love that stage! With games there’s always so many possibilities it’s hard to decide what approach to take. I’ve definitely never seen students as engaged as when they know there’s room for play- such exciting pedagogical potential!

I’ve taught courses on the Middle Ages and video games with games in the weekly readings! I pick indie games on steam for PC and Mac (and mobile if possible!) that are low $. For any AAA games discussed in class I either record my gameplay or find silent playthroughs. Worked well so far!

Perfect! I shall send it along to you! :)
