Description

The King is dead. The kingdom is divided. Three factions - the Scottish, the Welsh, and the English - vie for control, all too evenly matched to seize it for themselves. As instability builds and foreign invaders loom, Britain is desperate for a ruler. But who should bear that mantle?

This Second Edition refreshes the accessible yet strikingly deep game with updated graphic design, gorgeous new artwork by Benoit Billion, and a brand-new asymmetric game mode for advanced play.
