In Troyes, recreate four centuries of history of this famous city of the Champagne region of France. Each player manages their segment of the population (represented by a horde of dice) and their hand of cards, which represent the three primary domains of the city: religious, military, and civil. Players can also offer cash to their opponents' populace in order to get a little moonlighting out of them - anything for more fame!
Make your underlings:
work on the cathedral
combat misfortune
bustle about the city
and other such tasks that are below your family's stature
