Overview

In 1286, Alexander III, King of Scotland, died after a fall from a horse. As none of his children outlived him, the Scottish lords declared that his 4-year old granddaughter, Margaret, be named Queen of Scotland. Due to her young age, the Lords established a regency to administer the kingdom until Margaret was old enough to reign. Having assembled at Edinburgh Castle, with King Edward 1st of England serving as arbitrator, the major Scottish clans will use their influence to earn the honorary title of Regent, also known as "Guardian of the kingdom." As head of one of the pre-eminent Scottish clans, you have but 8 days to earn the title of « Guardian of the Kingdom ». To do so, you’ll manoeuvre your agents throughout Edinburgh Castle’s chambers, and with the help of the King’s counsellors grow your influence over a variety of lordly domains. Note well that neglecting any realm of influence will prevent you from advancing in others. And do not run afoul of the English king, Edward I (Longshanks), who’s declared himself arbitrator of this dispute and seeks to stem the influence of the clans. Finally, avoid revealing your hidden agenda to your rivals, lest they convincingly accuse you of dark deeds and cost you your credibility, or more !
