The Turn Loop
Nine stepsCurrent year shown
The game displays the current year and period, so you always know where you stand in the reign.
Event card drawn
The next historical Event card is drawn in fixed chronological order — the deck is never shuffled.
Situation presented
The card sets out the situation facing the Crown before any decision is made.
Responses offered
Two or three possible responses are offered; each carries its own cost and its own risk.
Response resolved
The chosen response resolves against resources and, where the outcome is uncertain, a 1d6 roll.
Consequences applied
Immediate consequences are applied and shown, whether the response succeeded or faltered.
Kingdom state updated
The kingdom state is updated: resources, England Stability, Normandy Stability, and the son relationships.
Follow-up may trigger
A follow-up event occasionally triggers, carrying the result of this turn into the next one.
Reign continues
The loop continues, turn after turn, until William dies or the succession is resolved.
