Six players are set up, with up to five controlled by humans and the Pink player left to the computer, and there are no teams. Red plays Conflux, Blue Fortress, Tan Tower, Green Castle, Orange Dungeon, and Pink Necropolis. The premise follows a young ruler who sets out to see the world after hearing about the Grail.
