About the game

What you do in a play session

Divine Right is a classic strategy and diplomacy game that immerses players in a medieval fantasy world. Each player controls a unique kingdom, composed of humans, elves, goblins, dwarves, and trolls, and must use both diplomacy and force to form alliances and conquer supreme power. The game is a mix of combat, negotiation, and RPG elements, where ambassadors vie for the favor of kings, assassinations and betrayals are common, and allies can switch sides in the blink of an eye. Wizards and gods also come into play, adding a layer of unpredictability and chaos. Victory requires a combination of strategic skill and luck, as dice can decide the fate of crucial battles. The game includes a colorful map, over 250 counters, dice, and cards, providing an immersive and detailed experience.
