Money to raise armies, money to bribe enemies, money to pay for the marriages of your children. You are the head of a powerful Dynasty, ruler of one of the great Kingdoms of Europe. Ranged against you are equally powerful monarchs, with the same aims - conquest, trade and a secure Dynasty. Blood Royale is a game of treachery, double-dealing, power politics and open warfare. The aim of the, game is to become the wealthiest ruling family in 13th century Europe, and the means of gaining that wealth are the Princes and daughters of your Dynasty and the armies they control. A comprehensive and well-illustrated set of rules - based on a set of simple core rules, fully detailed with examples and clarifications - allows you to control all the affairs of your Dynasty. You will arrange marriages for your children, to make alliances and secure deals. You will tax the people of your Kingdom, control their trade and find your financial fortunes ebbing and flowing as events take their toll. And you will fight wars against your enemies, to protect your homelands and to take theirs. Blood Royale is not a role-playing game, or a boardgame, or a simulation game or a wargame - it is all four. Packed inside this box you will find all you need to fulfill your dream of conquest..."

I love Blood Royale. I bought it back in Australia and played it many times with friends. I just bought it again now I live in America to play with friends over here. Great historical information, fun to play. Warning though this game takes time to play and organize.
