About this game

Kingmaker is a strategy game based on Avalon Hill’s board game of the same name. Set during the War of the Roses in medieval England, it places you on either the side of York or Lancaster.

Your objective is to have your chosen royal heir crowned king of England. To advance your cause, grant titles to supporters and eliminate opposing figures. Combat is presented simply, while political maneuvering and underhanded tactics form the core of play.
