+Richard the Third is an epic two-player wargame that recreates the 15th
+century, bloody dynastic struggle between the royal houses of Lancaster and
+York for the throne of England. Will the mad-king Henry VI and his Queen
+Margaret keep the throne or will the Duke of York recover it for the
+Plantagenets. Also strutting across the game's stage are Edward IV, Richard
+III, Henry VII, and Warwick, the notorious "Kingmaker".
+
+<p>
+The object of play is to eliminate all five enemy heirs and/or win control of
+the powerful nobles of England. The Lancastrians start the game holding the
+throne, and the Yorkists are in exile ready to invade. Kingship can be won or
+lost several times during the game. Will Richard III emerge triumphant, or will
+he perish in battle as he did historically?
