The Southern Host - an ancestral curse - has arisen, and all the familiars of Xidit are out of control! Even the order of High Mages - the revered Guardians of Argos - struggles to contain the threat. As one of the five Idrakys, heirs to the kingdom’s great dynasties, it falls on you to aid the Guardians and regain control of the kingdom. Travel the kingdom, recruit brave defenders, free the cities and become THE Lord of Xidit!

Lords of Xidit features simultaneous programming and an elimination-based scoring system that leaves no room for complacency! In more detail, at the end of the game players compare their influence in one category and the player with the least influence is eliminated and his pieces removed from the board; players then compare influence in another category, with a player again being removed. The order of elimination is randomly determined at the start of play, forcing you to thinking in different ways each game.
