Gameplay

The board is laid out in a modular fashion, using randomly-placed smaller boards (Löwenherz has six 5x5 boards; Domaine has nine 4x4 boards). Players section off areas of the board with walls, and use knights inside the walls to defend them. The actions which may be taken by players are bid for in an auction. Politics cards give players extra abilities.
