Watch: Crown and Council is really fun

A strategy game fit for a king.

This week Mojang released Crown and Council, a free to play strategy game, entirely without warning or fanfare. A surprising lack of pomp and circumstance, really, given it's a game all about ruling a kingdom.

Intrigued to see how Mojang tackled the slaughter of one's enemies, I gave Crown and Council a go. I'm pleased to say I found it really good fun, even if plagues kept wiping out my cities. Have a look in the video below and be sure to let me know your thoughts. Are you playing Crown and Council? What do you think? How about that red enemy, huh? What a jerk.
