Review

The old king has died, leaving his young son net yet ready to rule the kingdom. The minority of the young king will last another year, during which anarchy reigns! Eight of the most powerful lords of the kingdom will take advantage of this period of anarchy, bolstering their own power in order to have the most influence over the young king when he takes control. In this game you take the place of one of those lords, building up your barony with castles, knights and footmen to attack and defend against the other lords. Each turn you send out attacks to take their land and loot their gold. At the same time you must defend against them, and make sure you have the resources to continue building and maintaining your domain. If at the end of the year you are the largest kingdom, you will impress the young king and gain his trust and respect. Your counsel will prevail over that of the weaker lords, and your power will be second only to the king himself! So choose your actions wisely.
