In the turbulent year of 1135, the unexpected death of Henry I, King of England, set the stage for an epic struggle for power. With the absence of a male heir, Henry's daughter, Empress Matilda, believed it was her rightful destiny to take the throne. But her cousin, Stephen de Blois, seized the opportunity and claimed the crown, aided by the influential Bishop of Winchester.

His coronation ignited fury among Matilda's supporters, plunging England into a civil war marked by chaos and strife. This tumultuous period would forever be known as "The Anarchy."

Step into the shoes of powerful English nobles in The Anarchy. Over five thrilling rounds, you'll strategize to expand your domain, fortify your castle against relentless assaults from the advancing Angevin armies, and mount daring offensives against strongholds loyal to Matilda using your very own crafted siege weapons.

To emerge victorious, you'll need to accumulate bravery, loyalty, influence, and might—while deftly managing the discontent of your subjects. The player who proves themselves as King Stephen’s most loyal ally will be rewarded with the honor of his largest earldom. Will you rise to the challenge and secure your place in history?
