The power is yours...if you dare to take it. The Council calls to the heroes of the realm in search of a new ruler to guide the kingdom to further prosperity. The Council is in need of a champion, and your past deeds have caught the eye of its members. Show them why you deserve the right to sit amongst the most powerful rulers in the land. This will be no small task as other powerful heroes will be answering the Council's call and building a reputation of their own. Some will create strong alliances, some will harness the earth and elements to awe and inspire the kingdom, while others will carve a bloody wound in the kingdom's enemies. How will you decide to gain the favor of...The Council? Each turn in The Council, a player moves to a new location, facing random encounters along the way. While at locations, players can attempt to complete quests or recruit assistance for future encounters. When four public quests have been completed, the game ends. Victory points are awarded, and the player with the most VPs becomes the Council's selected champion.
