About the game
The Kingdom of Crusaders: Ordonnance expansion includes new cards of different types: Unit cards with more powerful armies that have a pair of matching symbols on two lines. New "Kingdom cards" that cancel a unit type at a location, probably upsetting the existing balance of power, in addition to changing the number of cards allowed at that location. "Ordonnance" cards that allow players to draw extra cards from the deck, swap units at their locations, and even destroy their opponents units. With the additional cards in Ordonnance, The Kingdom of Crusaders can now be played with up to four players, and the additional victory markers needed are included in this expansion.
