Yeaah this one I need to clear with my wife first. Or maybe get my 7th Sea gaming group to help pony up for it. I think that The War of the Cross will be worth the hundred bucks, but: well, you know how it goes.

Looks like a variation of Diplomacy (Ruining friendships since 1954), easy to pick up relatively cheap. Another variant would be to look at Game of Thrones 2nd edition, not in the same world but another diplomacy/alliance/war game.

$100 on KS for a game with a pile of minis seems about standard now a days. Could do the same thing with chits and cardboard standees for half the price but people would not get as excited for it.
