In queste province tutto è ancora da costruire: potrete riuscirci solo con l’aiuto dei consiglieri reali. Erigete palazzi, fortificate le difese, addestrate il vostro esercito!

Il risultato è un divertente roll and write, che vi regalerà la stessa atmosfera di Kingsburg in un gioco da circa 30 minuti. —description from the publisher (Italian)
