Description from the publisher: The Crusades have summoned Richard the Lionheart to the Middle East. Back home in England, John Lackland is trying to consolidate his power, recruiting the Sheriff of Nottingham to his side. Opposing them is Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. What will be left of Richard's Kingdom when the Crusades are over? In Richard the Lionheart, players ally themselves either with Robin Hood or John Lackland.

At this time, the player who has earned the most prestige wins.
