Product Description

The Kingdom is in chaos. The King lies dead without an heir, slain by a villainous hand. Will a leader rise up and rally the support of the people, or will the shadow of anarchy spread over the land? Through the deliberation, it is plain to see that this conflict will not end without bloodshed. With such power at stake, there will be no compromise. Even now, each Baron plots to gain advantage and hires hardened mercenaries to strengthen his forces. Soon the crashing of marching boots and the roar of battle will drown out the negotiations taking place at the Assembly. Fortresses will fall, cities will be razed, and a King will be crowned.

I've played this about 5 times and enjoy many of Fantasy Flight games. However, the one drawback is the feeling that you have limited moves and decisions. Because of the game mechanics to movement and the limited timespan of the game, I found there was no climactic ending to this. I would like a few more rounds to keep playing, but this is not in the game.

Still, the game will take between 2 and 4 hours. It's fun, but just needed a little bit more for me to give a better rating.

If you are expecting the good ole days of playing the original Warrior Knights, you will be very disappointed. They changed it to using cards instead of dice and really is just not fun at all. It doesn't play the same and drags the game down. I would recommend searching for the original and pass on this downgrade of the game. If you never played the original, then you might like this game... but it won't be a favorite.

These games are for those who are willing to take the time to learn and the time to play. This is a game of diplomacy, warfare and cunning tactic. It is long, you may have to set your schedule as to when this can be played. That being said, it is a tremendous gaming experience.
