Crusader States is a non-collectible card game for 3-5 players. Each player represents one of the major European crusader factions as they attempt to carve out a kingdom during their march to the Holy Land. Cards represent key nobles, money, cities, soldiers and titles as well as events and battles. By skillfully playing your hand you attempt to form a kingdom that is both powerful in votes and powerful enough to fend off the lurking Saracens as well as your fellow crusaders.
