Description

Among Nobles is a game where you establish and expand a family dynasty in feudal Europe, navigating the complexities of marriage, warfare, and intrigue. You start with a married couple and add new family members through birth and marriage, with three generational changes occurring as the oldest generation perishes due to old age. As you take turns activating your characters or couples, you can pick a series of actions to advance your influence, wage war, earn gold, and expand your family. The game is won by accumulating the most prestige points, which are a measure of your influence on society. With the ability to buy extra actions, pay for wedding feasts, muster armies, and educate your male heirs, every decision counts. The right marriages can make or break your game, and the introduction of powerful nobles with unique abilities adds an extra layer of strategy.
