A journey back to the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries...
... when nobles and royal families struggled to gain power, influence and prestige throughout the provinces and royal courts of Europe.
Players take on the roles of influential families and royal dynasties involved in the quest for power in Britain, France, Spain and German States.
Barons, Counts, Marquis, Earls, Dukes and Princes attempt to gain impressive Titles, wealth and education and build grand palaces and magnificent castles, in the quest to increase their prestige and
perhaps rise to the most powerful postition of King and Head of State.
Help from the Church and the Army will be essential. But beware, for in such a Machiavellian world trachery abounds. Players´ noble must run the gauntlet of assassination attempts, the Gallows, the
Spanish Inquisition and revolutions. Not even the King is sage from the Axeman or the Guillotine.
The player who controls the most nobles and best dominates the various provinces and courts of Europe will win the race for the most Heads of State and be the victor!
