The Black Death ravages Europe.
The ruler of your land has just
succumbed to the plague, and now you, the
princes of the land, compete against each
other in a struggle to replace him. To do this
you travel around the land to gather loyal
supporters from among the various classes of the
middle ages. Each day you visit a different town,
each containing different kinds of buildings
and each providing different kinds of benefi ts.
When entering a building belonging to a
given class, you recruit followers from that
class. Once in a while, you also take a chance
on recruiting some of the strangers lurking
in the streets. There are a few rats in those
streets too, but a rat or two won’t kill you, right?
