About this game
Send your knights to castles across England and France, competing with other lords for the best placements while also voting on laws that reshape the game's rules. Knights can be bumped by stronger ones, forcing constant evaluation of where to place your limited forces. The law-voting mechanism is brilliant: each round, players collectively decide which new laws take effect, creating shifting alliances and political maneuvering. Support the king's war against France for bonus rewards, or focus on domestic power. Medieval politics at its finest.
