In this game players are supporting the new King and trying to prove themselves to be the most powerful lord.
You start with some small value knights to take actions but these can be upgraded or new ones obtained through various actions. You can increase the size of you castle which then enables some permanent actions you can use every turn. Players can also vote on new laws which help score points towards your power, you can increase your vote by attracting nobles to your table by actions. Also you can send your knights to France to assist in the battles over there, this can gain decent rewards if the battles are won and you are the highest contributor.
There is a lot going on here and plenty of strategic choices to be made, which fits well with the theme of the game. I found this to be very enjoyable, not too long to play and certainly on my radar to get another game of in the future.
