A light card game involving the build-up and destruction of medieval towns. In the "Prosperity" phase, players attempt to build up their populations via stealing from other players or via improvements. Then the Death Ship arrives bearing the plague! In the "Plague" phase, players attempt to kill other players by playing war, pestilence, or other deadly attacks. The cards contain illustrations reminiscent of medieval woodcuts featuring the Grim Reaper.
