You lead a military order of crusading knights. You advance your knights from Europe toward the Middle East and spread your order's influence. The heart of the game is the round action wheel on your player board. Wedge-shaped tiles hold tokens. On your turn you pick a tile, take all its tokens, and sow them one by one onto the following tiles, mancala-style. How many land there sets the strength of the action. Move, crusade, muster knights, build. Churches, castles, and banks strengthen their matching actions. The blend of mancala and rondel is this game's signature.
