This isn's just a simple add-on; it's a strategic boost that breathes new life into the core experience.

Beyond just more players, the real magic happens when you start visiting towns. The expansion introduces a brand-new layer of gameplay: gathering a retinue of supporters from various social classes. Instead of just moving around the board, you're now building a political and social network.

It adds a layer of long-term planning and resource management that keeps everyone on their toes. If you enjoy games where building a loyal following can turn the tide of a match, this expansion is a must-have for your medieval collection. Get ready to recruit, strategize, and dominate the realm!
