Genial juego de negociación, gestión de territorios y ejércitos, alianzas y traiciones... Partidas muy largas pero que se disfrutan. Una pena que no se reedite este juego, porque creo que tendría buena acogida entre un grupo suficiente de jugones. De lo mejor que se puede jugar si puedes pasar un día entero con él.
