Krakow 1325 AD is unusual for board games in that it's designed for precisely four players, who split into teams of two. The teams try to gain influence over the city by manipulating the strength of four opposing groups -- Secret Societies, Underworld, etc. -- through the play of Intrigue cards. Pushing one of these groups into part of the city scores points for your team, but each player also has a secret identity card, so your teammate might be looking out for himself as much as the team when he supports a certain group.
