Poland in 1202 has fractured into four principalities, and each Piast branch secretly programs three of six actions per round, racing to have one of their princes crowned king.
Who it's for
Groups who want a long, historically grounded battle of wills with negotiation and hidden intent.
Not for you if…
Player elimination, long sessions or being outguessed on a blind commitment ruin your evening.
Vibe's take
Sharp and political – programming blind means committing before you know the picture, and a History card can bury the round you thought you had won.
