Crusader Kings

Spread your influence over medieval Europe and lead your Dynasty to triumph over its rivals.

My King, the time has come. Your day is now. Are you ready to make your mark on History?

Free League Publishing and Paradox Interactive are proud to present Crusader Kings—The Board Game, based on the acclaimed grand strategy computer game. In this game, 3–5 players lead the historical dynasties of medieval Europe to triumph—or downfall. Reshape History in your own image—if only that dimwitted son of yours set to inherit the throne doesn’t spoil your grand plans…

The goal of this game is to spread your influence over medieval Europe and lead your Dynasty to triumph over its rivals. To do that, you will need to groom your family over the generations, build and develop your dominion, be shrewd in the realms of diplomacy and intrigue, and use your vassals wisely to grow your wealth and military power, while at the same time fulfilling your holy duty to partake in the crusades to the Holy Land.

Your King or Queen will need to survive invasions, plots, crusades, and marriage. All while experiencing strange and dangerous events of a medieval ruler. And if not survive, then at least have heirs ready to take over the throne. Failure to raise a suitable heir will face you with the end of your dynasty. That would be horribly sad indeed.

Rest assure that Crusader Kings the Board Game will wreak havoc in homes all over the world as it is moved from the computer onward to the tabletop. Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?
