Lords. The Birth of Rus

"Lords" transports players a thousand years back, to the period of feudal fragmentation in Rus. Each player holds their own estate and contributes to its prosperity. The development of cities and participation in historical events earn players glory points, which... determine the winner. 

In "Lords" there are five types of cards: cities, buildings, events, chronicles, and troops. Cities are the foundation of princely ownership: it is they and the buildings erected in them that provide the lion's share of glory points. Events represent various incidents: you can burn all the buildings in an enemy city, lure an enemy army to your side, or embellish cards from your opponent's hand. Troops are needed to capture enemy cities and to use certain chronicle and event cards. Chronicles, once played, remain until the end of the game. They can provide or take away glory points, strengthen your troops, or give you advantages during the game. The special chronicle "Tatar Invasion" allows the game to end early at a favorable moment for the player. 

Despite the simple game mechanics, "Lords" is a flexible and balanced game. Players can adhere to different strategies and change their course of action depending on the situation. Avoiding excessive immersion in historical details, "Lords" conveys the atmosphere of feudal fragmentation, with its constant infighting, ephemeral alliances, and chaotic transfer of lands from hand to hand.
