You are a Crusader King, striving for wealth and power across the continent. Across generations. Reshape the history of medieval Europe in your own image - if only that dimwitted son of yours set to inherit the throne doesn't spoil your grand plans.If the King is a horny, mean idiot, you'll have a bunch of negative tokens in your pool that are drawn at random, increasing the chance of failure. 

Pre-orders are also live online if you want to purchase early, though it’s a pricey set. The base game will set you back $74.49, and the Councilors & Inventors expansion will run another $26.47. (You can also grab a bundle at a slight discount.)
