However, it is important that under all circumstances, correct behaviour and etiquette is observed. An impolite man is an unlucky man.+Much of the game is about the power politics of the time, the forming and dissolution of alliances and consequent military activity.

 Another part of the game has to do with economics as each controlled province provides rice income and possibly cash income. With this income, troops can be levied, and castles/fortresses maintained or built. Another part of the game has to do with economics as each controlled province provides rice income and possibly cash income.

 +===== Location and game fee ===== 
 +The game will be played on the 2<sup>nd</sup> of July, 2022 in Multifunctional Center Maldensteijn, Kerkplein 8 (not 8a: that is another building), 6581 AC Malden, The Netherlands. Maldensteijn is located in one of the corners of the central roundabout of Malden (or its 2<sup>nd</sup> roundabout, counting from both the north and south). If you are in front of Maldensteijn, you can find its main entrance at its right side. 
 + 
 +If you come by car, try to park in the quarter next to the center or on one of the long stay parking places (On the Kerkplein itself, there are parking places marked with blue paint: these are for 3 hour stays only). If you come by public transport, take line 83 either from Nijmegen or from Gennep/Venlo and get off at the bus stop named Groesbeekseweg. You should be in front of Maldensteijn. 
 + 
 +Due to the Corona virus outbreak in 2020, we had to postpone this game. Costs to participate in the game are €20,-- for players and €10,-- for umpires. The game material will be distributed as pdfs by email. On the day itself you will also receive a small personal briefing.
