The game

Every Decision Shapes the Realm

Nobles, merchants, soldiers, scholars and stranger visitors bring their matters to the throne, one audience at a time. Answer them, issue royal decrees, make promises and commission royal works that change what your kingdom can do, and pursue a reign agenda or simply try to survive the winter.

Beneath your cards, the Living Kingdom diorama grows, prospers or decays with your decisions, and the Chronicle explains the causes behind every major event. Your dynasty lives with the consequences, across nine endings from golden accords to broken crowns.
