Euro According to the card you drew – see the definitions below to understand what your role will be today. � King – Ruled over an extensive piece of land, possibly an entire kingdom! Today you are the King (or Queen) of Beemonland � Noble- Congratulations! You are very close with the king and come from a prestigious family in Beemonland you will own an estate ranging between 1200 -1800 acres. However this land is too extensive for you to manage on your own, so you must distribute some of your land to managers or “vassals. ” Don’t worry, you will get paid! � Vassal – Hello Vassal! Since you are lucky enough to manage property in Beemonland you will need to provide some taxes and protection to the noble and king through recruiting military. In order to do this you will work each day on your manor to ensure that the peasants are working hard in the field. You will be responsible for hunting, chores around the manor, raising some knights and providing them with military training. � Peasants – You are the unfortunate peasants of Beemonland. You will work all day in the fields completing agricultural work and chores around the manor. However, it is not all bad, when you pay your vassal you will in return receive protection via the knights from invaders and savages.
