 It is late 12th century England and the country is
divided. King Richard I, known far and wide as Richard
the Lionheart, is in the Holy Land commanding the
Third Crusade against the forces of Saladin. It is there
that he wages war for both the glory of God and England.
However, as the conflict continues abroad, a threat grows
at home. John Lackland, youngest son of Henry II and
younger brother of Richard, sits on the throne and
commands as king. His allies, most notably the Sheriff
of Nottingham, are putting down resistance across the
land and working to ensure that Richard does not return.
However, a band of Merry Men is standing up in defiance
of such usurpation, proclaiming Richard the rightful King
of England; they will support him to the last.

You are one such character sided either with Richard

the Lionheart or King John. Journey up and down
England to rally the people to your cause and make a name
for yourself. You will work alongside your faction allies,
but remember – when the Crusade draws to a close and
the King is crowned, only one of you will be singled out for
your courage, your prestige, and your loyalty.

All hail the rightful King of England!

Objective
In Richard the Lionheart, you are a character sided with either King Richard or his brother, John Lackland. During
the game, you will travel throughout England to both influence the ongoing crusade in your faction's favor and earn
Prestige Points for yourself. It is imperative that you work alongside the other players aligned with your faction to
ensure your King ascends the throne! The winner is the player who not only collects the most Prestige Points, but
also belongs to the Winning Faction at the end of Richard's Crusade in the Holy Land. But beware! There may be a
Neutral character among you, backing neither Richard nor John, but instead drawing out the crusade towards their
own personal agenda. Regardless of faction, when the game ends, only one player will be victorious.
