Description
In the broken Empire of Lyssan, the struggle for power is intense. Two centuries after the old crown fell, barons and princes swear loyalty to the claimant-emperor with the nearest army, while clergy and spies play both sides. You are the one true ruler, and it's up to you to take control by using castles, knights, nobles, priests, and spies to outmaneuver your opponents. In this game of strategy, cooperation, and betrayal for 2 to 4 players, you'll need to adapt quickly to changing circumstances as you compete for trophies. With a unique combination of area control, unit management, and card play, Lyssan offers a rich and interactive experience. The game may take some time to learn, but with its streamlined rules and fast-paced play, you'll be vying for dominance in no time.
