A Richly Strategic Competition With Spicy Drama

How much are you willing to sacrifice to outshine your rivals? How much will you let your ego get the best of you?

You’ll hear plenty of cheers, gasps, and groans during the thrilling auctions and risk events.
Reiner Knizia has reworked his event sequence system (found in The Lord of the Rings and Beowulf: The Legend) from the ground-up to provide an exciting mix of modular boards and events. The game also features a randomized market of power cards and a large deck of tactics cards, meaning that you’ll discover new challenges, opportunities, and strategies with every play.
