Description

[Edit] [History]

The king is dying and the nobles (the players) try to get influence enough to be the next chosen. Influence is achieved by surrounding key areas (palace, library,) with buildings you control. The opponents can erect new buildings over the ones you already built so be careful. Like in all good games there is a dragon :) It can be sent for destruction of your opponents’ buildings.
