Lancaster

In Lancaster, players vie for influence and power within the medieval English court, all while King Henry V is preoccupied with his campaigns in France. Players manage their knights and utilize them to gain influence in various counties of England and support the king's war efforts across the Channel. This is achieved through a unique worker placement system, where players place their knights on different actions, including supporting laws in parliament, going to war in France, or securing titles and influence in England.

A key element of the game is the bidding for laws in parliament. Players bid knights to support or oppose laws, adding a layer of strategic depth and interaction. By carefully managing their knights and making shrewd decisions about where to exert their influence, players can accumulate victory points and establish themselves as the most powerful family in Lancaster.
