Prepare yourself for being a champion able to challenge other players as well as the most famous nobles across the Europe of 15th century.

The key design concepts are: two main modes for different experience and player types - with or without pvp combat worker-placement-like preparation phase, quest phase based on gathered quest cards, tournaments as a main source of victory points, duels as a fast mini-game titles to gather as a secondary source of victory points - public and private - changing with every game. —description from the publisher
