Designed

The throne lies empty and the clans are restless. As a lord of
Scotland with land, men and money at your disposal, now is the time
to lay your claim. But you are not alone. Your rivals have been
waiting for just such an opportunity themselves and they are poised
to act. With the clans of Scotland ready to follow the strongest
leader, it is up to you to win the loyalty of the clans first. If
you can demonstrate your prowess in battle to enough clans, then
the rest will fall in line behind you. Do you have the audacity
and cunning it takes to be crowned king?
You acquire the support you need to win the game by winning skirmishes
against your rivals. A skirmish is five consecutive rounds of play.
During each round of a skirmish, you have the opportunity to either
build up your army by playing cards from your hand or recruit clans
to fight for you by drawing cards from the recruit pile. At the
end of the five rounds, each lord gets to claim a supporter in order
of highest strength army to lowest. Then you discard all the clans
you mustered and begin a new skirmish. The game ends when one lord
reaches forty or more points worth of supporters and claims the
throne. If you hope to be the one to do so, you will need to know
when to commit your forces to battle and when to regroup to fight
another day.
