About the game
What you do in a play session
The game is a race for the most PPs, but with a twist: the outcome of Richard's Crusade significantly impacts the final scoring. Players who supported the winning faction get a boost, while those on the losing side might see their efforts go to waste. It's a game of careful planning, social deduction, and adapting to changing circumstances, all wrapped in a rich medieval theme. With variable player powers adding replayability and a dynamic scoring system, Richard I offers a tense and engaging experience. Will you play it safe, or will you risk it all for the crown? Only the cunning and the bold will etch their names into history!
