Description
Taken from BoardgameNews.com:
The year is 1430, a time of unrest and upheaval in the whole of Europe. Nearly 100 years have passed since the founding of the League of Six – a group of wealthy Lusatian towns that banded together to defend their commercial interests and preserve stability and order in the region.
You have been sent to this embattled land in the role of tax collector. As a young, ambitious aristocrat, you hope to stand out so that you will be given a position in the court of Sigismund.
The tax collector who brings in the most revenue for the king, while simultaneously gaining the support of the estates, has the best chance of finding himself by the side of King Sigismund.
The game consists of six turns representing six years. Each player takes the role of a tax collector visiting one of the six cities. The goods collected are placed in the royal stores or estate stores, thus giving the players influence in the court of King Sigismund. The player who gains the most influence wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- I don't think Project L should have the video theme category applied to it. I don't think so.
- my solo cadet mode for captain's chair is the best video to watch to learn how to play the game.
- you only score points for your tracks if you have completed at least one of your missions.
- Many of you, especially Mage Knight fans, will know Ricky because he did the solo playthroughs of Mage Knight, which helped make Mage Knight what it is today.
- I have news. I am not allowed to share that news. I am under um effectively an NDA.
- Marvel Champions is a fantastic, fantastic game.
- The stream was crashing and literally every 30 minutes the stream would crash and my software would crash and people would be in the chat saying the stream's gone down.
- Too Many Bones is a good game, but me being so far out of my comfort zone that I literally cannot understand how to play the characters that I'm playing whilst hosting a live stream. Yeah, I don't want to do that again. That was uh that was horrible.
- Monopoly is in that situation where it's popular because it's popular.
- It's still a terrible game. It is. It is a terrible, terrible, terrible game.
- The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship, the new pandemic style game from Matt Leo. I'm going to pick that one. But caveat, I've only played it once and I haven't actually played that many games that technically have come out from 2025.
- You can't. There's too many games coming out every week.
- If you are not a Patreon supporter and you want to support me directly, you can for as little as $1 a month or $3 a month if you want access to the Slack channel, patreon.com/gamingrules.
- The secret word for this month is the game that arrived this afternoon that none of my patron supporters were able to guess.
