More details!
If you read this far (ty btw) and want to know more here is the real deal.
You take any mainstream "map" game, turn it text-based, add card mechanics, a fantasy world and you have Royalty.
You have to manage 5 parts of your kingdom; population, economy, military, diplomacy and religion. These effect each other, for example having an healthy economy will increase your population growth rate, having good diplomatic relations will increase your trade but decrease your religious followers.
If your economy is bad your population might start a riot, having a disloyal army makes you vulnerable to military coups and so on. You manage around these dangerous situations using your cards and policies. Most cards have passive effects but some of them can also be "played" into the board.
Policies have passive effects as well but they can be adjusted by the player using parameters.
There also "random" events, these are triggered by your choices, situation of your kingdom or some of them might be completely random.
If you get 5 disaster cards you get removed from power, the game ends and you start over, that's it.
