Na Grunwald: Rycerze króla Jagiełły is a eurogame for 2–4 players, with an approximate playing time of 60 minutes. Set before the Battle of Grunwald, it focuses on preparing for one of the biggest battles of the Middle Ages.

Each player becomes an officer of King Jagiełło. Their task is to find the best knights, equip them, and lead them to the king. The game presents this military preparation as a eurogame experience rooted in a significant historical event in Poland.

• Play as an officer serving King Jagiełło.
