A tight, fast area-majority game about building religious and political influence across medieval Europe. You place monasteries to claim regions and chains, then squeeze in advisors whose number is capped by your monastery majority. Two brisk rounds, sharp scoring, and constant reading of where your rivals are overcommitting.
Who it's for
Fans of tense area-majority games who want deep positional decisions in under an hour.
Not for you if…
You dislike direct confrontation and blocking, or want a long build-up; the game is short, mean, and gives you no time to recover from a weak opening.
Vibe's take
Brisk and cutthroat; every piece placement is a small majority fight and there is no room to coast.
