Crusader Kings

You are a Crusader King, fighting for wealth, political power, religious influence and military power across the continent and through generations. Reshape the history of medieval Europe in your image - if only your fool son who will inherit the throne did not spoil your great projects....

The Crusader Kings board game captures the essence of the Crusader Kings video game experience in a physical table format. It is a strategy game at heart, but with a particular focus on the characters, the plot and the drama. It's a great and beautiful game centered on a map of medieval Europe, using maps for actions, characters and events and well-designed plastic figurines to represent knights, armies, castles, and more.

In this game, your goal is to extend your influence over medieval Europe and make your dynasty triumph over its rivals. To do this, you must train your family through the generations, build and develop your domination, be skilled in the field of diplomacy and intrigue, and use your vassals wisely to increase your wealth and military power, while fulfilling your duty to participate in the Crusades in the Holy Land.

To win, you must survive invasions, plots, crusades and even marriage! Or at least have children or siblings ready to take the throne if your regent dies. If you can't find a suitable heir, your dynasty can die out.
