William the Conquerer is about to cross the Channel to invade England. Players
are his most trusted nobles and stand ready to carve out a barony for
themselves in England.
For the next four hundred years the families of these nobles serve the king –
fighting his wars, building his castles, collecting his taxes – and getting
themselves rich and powerful. In the end the richest player will win, the kings
take their turns in chronological order, then a tax
phase is played. A move comprises drawing of counters, attacks, placement of
castles, taxation and array adjustment.
