About the game

In 890 A.D., you're a noble defending the sun-drenched lands of Provence from Moorish raids. With just 8 rounds, your goal is to develop your dominion by building fortifications, crops, and structures, while summoning powerful allies to aid you. Every decision matters: where to place your tiles, which crops to prioritize, and how to use the unique abilities of the characters you recruit. The interaction is subtle but strategic—stealing coins or cards from rivals can turn the tide! But beware: once your dominion is full, there's no going back. And with the ever-looming Saracen threat, every move could mean the difference between glory and ruin.
