This quick tutorial explains the basics of how to play Crusader Kings 2.  It covers the following topics: succession, marriage, skills and traits, vassals, demesne, casus belli, combat, laws, opinions, and guardians.

This is a quick start guide aimed at beginners.  It was made for version 2.7.1.  The tutorial introduces new players to Crusader Kings 2 through an example game started in Ireland.  The video assumes no prior knowledge of the game.  In particular, it explains the meaning of the terms "vassal" and "demesne" and explains the purpose of having vassals.

Once you are comfortable with the basics, read the Gameranx tutorial if you want a more detailed guide to the game:
