It is 1430, Europe is restless, and you have been sent to the Lusatian lands as a tax collector. Nearly a hundred years after the League of Six, a union of wealthy towns, was founded to protect trade and keep order, you are a young aristocrat who hopes to win a place at King Sigismund's court. The collector who brings in the most revenue for the king while also winning support from the estates has the best chance. The game runs for six turns, one for each year, with you visiting one of the six cities and storing goods in royal or estate stores. A 2007 game with auctions and delivery, built for two hours.

Who it's for

You enjoy a historical setting with auctions and delivery and are happy to play a two-hour Euro with a clear theme.

Not for you if…

You want a light game or only have two players. League of Six needs at least three and some patience.

Vibe's take

A political balancing act. Every load of goods pleases someone and annoys someone else, and you have to decide whose favour you want this year.
