High Chancellor Osborne has decreed that the scattered Lords of LGP-Esteros must unite, and aid him in his quest to slay the demon, De'Aficitt the Deceiver, who is consuming all the gold in the Kingdom.

But the 89 Lords have ruled their own keeps and kept their own counsel, with scarce regard to goings-on beyond their borders, for many a long year. Now ravens take wing, and messengers hie across the land, from hill to vale, from country to town, bearing parchments that forge new bonds of like-minded allegiance, or else dash fond hopes of friendship. The High Chancellor wishes to remake the land into Six Pooldoms of British Wealth, each controlling a treasury worth £25 billion or more - but today Eight Pooldoms hold sway in the land, and several Lords have yet to declare a formal alliance. Some Lords court one another reluctantly, at the High Chancellor's urging. Others propose grandiose schemes to wage war on fund management fees and liabilities, to merge their in-house armies into mighty legions. Battle is joined. Alliances formed, and broken. Assets will pool! Mandates will fall! Join us, brave reader, as we play ... the GAME OF FUNDS...

The High Chancellor has decreed the scattered Lords of LGP-Esteros must unite into pensions Pooldoms.    Alliances are formed, and broken. Assets will pool! Mandates will fall! Join us, brave reader, as we play...the Game of Funds!
