How it feels

Playing feels like carefully maneuvering medieval nobles on a map to secure alliances and achieve strategic victory in a turn-based wargame.

What players say

Players say it looks gorgeous and the board game is great, but the AI is incompetent and the game is full of bugs that break the rules. Reviews are split on recommending it: some say it is fine for multiplayer with a friend, while others call it an abandoned, buggy scam and advise avoiding all Blocks titles.
