This kingdom management RPG invites players into the role of King Eryk, the ruler of Davern, where they must navigate the complexities of governance as various petitioners come to seek assistance and counsel. Each turn, players are faced with decisions that weigh the importance of aiding their subjects against the need to conserve limited resources. The game emphasizes strategic management and the constant struggle between helping others and focusing on the kingdom's broader interests, reminding players that not everyone seeking their help has altruistic intentions.
Set against a backdrop inspired by Slavic folklore, "Yes, Your Grace" presents a richly woven narrative within its medieval fantasy realm. Players will encounter villagers dealing with a wide range of challenges, from monstrous attacks to the necessity for leisure spaces. Alongside these serious issues, humor permeates the interactions within the throne room, where players must also navigate the dynamics of family life, providing support to their loved ones as they each face their own trials during the king’s reign.
In order to ensure the kingdom's stability and secure their power, players must develop alliances with various lords, each bringing their unique personalities and demands to the table.

The challenge lies not only in maintaining positive relationships but also in preparing for imminent battles, making the role of a wise and discerning ruler crucial in this intricate political landscape.
Players are given the opportunity to listen to their subjects' pleas, manage family concerns, and make strategic appointments by hiring generals, witches, and hunters to bolster their defenses and resources. As the narrative unfolds, it invites players to uncover the engaging and diverse stories of the characters that seek an audience with the king. This blend of personal and political intrigue ensures that players remain invested in the fate of Davern and its inhabitants, balancing their responsibilities as a ruler while navigating the tales of those who inhabit their realm.
