Kingmaker

Play as a rival noble faction during the 15th-century Wars of the Roses, maneuvering Lords across England and Wales to control a royal claimant and weaken opponents. Players manage Noble cards and pieces, recruit Bishops, Mercenaries, Ships and gain Titles and Offices to strengthen their faction. Each turn begins with an Event that affects all players, then allows movement, sieges, battles and political actions such as calling Parliament to gain advantages or attempt to crown a new Royal. Victory comes through a mix of military, political and diplomatic actions; scenarios include shorter, classic and extended variants plus a solo challenge, each changing win conditions and optional rules.

One introductory play in at 3p. Needs many many more plays possibly at higher player count Map could have been printed larger and get rid of cards and stack places. Faction markers and royal counters aren't very usable
