To appease his people, the kingdom's first election is being held to determine which of the king's children will assume the throne. To become the next ruler, players must choose either to politic with the members of the kingdom's four classes, or to use their political pull as royalty to change the lives of the people, for better or worse! The first player to gain thirteen followers, with at least one follower from each class, becomes the next ruler and winner of POLITICO.
