Details

The King and his schemers. There is unrest in 15th century Spain. In the shadow of the king there is a battle for power. Nobles of different rank, status and origins get in each other's way in search of fame and honor. Each player starts from their own territory and tries to collect as many victory points as possible by choosing action cards as well as possible and using armies as meaningfully as possible. The constant pursuit of a ruse by the enemy and no place to be trusted increases suspicion and demands the utmost vigilance. This is by no means an easy task, as own interests and troop movements are often difficult to control and much depends on details. Did you make the best decision or was the size of your deployable army too small? In this game, atmosphere and excitement are without a doubt present at every game. Only players with good insight and judgment have a chance to win this top match. Pure coincidence is virtually absent here. Choosing your own power cards, which determines both the playing order and the number strength of your own troops, is of strategic importance. Considering the various options for action is also important. Under no circumstances should the importance of the "Tower" be overlooked because ... all too often the suddenly emerging troops disrupt the well thought-out planning ... and this time and again for one of the three point counts. Anyone who likes a solid piece of strategy and tactics will have one of the greatest toppers of recent years here!
