Quite a few times. As part of a politics / history subject I studied a couple of years ago. Good game.

This game would work well on here, if I can explain it well enough to everyone. Just trying to figure how to do the board.

I played it a little but I was more partial to Warrior Knights as I could buy mercenaries and burn down the keeps of the other players, which never got boring.

Plus it was a nice history lesson learning about Lombards and all those odd little countries which no longer exist.

I suppose I managed to die on my own terms (kinda) but definitely a life lesson on "heavy whose head wears the crown" and I didn't even want the damn thing. Being a Kingsguard was cool though, especially the bizarre entry contest/obstacle course. Ruling? Not so much.

Balor was much more fun and a better party animal. I regret his early demise.

Always give the crown to the most capable guy who does not want it. He will do the best job. Unless some blue-lipped freak over throws him and murders most of his brothers in an amazing scenario written by a certain nameless admin.

I seem to have lost my thread of conversation...
