Royals

Description

Designed by Peter Hawes

In Royals, players take on the roles of the great noble houses of the 17th century, fighting for supremacy in Europe at that time. With the help of the right country cards, they occupy influential positions and obtain bonuses for this in the form of victory points. The higher the rank of the title associated with the position, the more country cards required. Already-occupied positions can be contested by playing intrigue cards.

The game proceeds over three periods, with a scoring taking place after each of them. During scoring, the players with the greatest influence in each of the four countries score victory points. After the third period scoring, the game ends with the scoring of the individual titles. The player with the most victory points wins.

Royals utilizes set collection, territory control, and influence mechanics to provide a colorful, engaging, and exciting game! The game is easy to learn, and turns are fast. It has engrossing strategy that will keep all players on the edge of their seat and engaged throughout. Plan you moves carefully, but watch out for your backstabbing opponents!
