Secretive councilors pull strings in a medieval court to engineer the rise or ruin of rival noble Houses for their own hidden ambitions.

Gameplay

Draft and play cards, sometimes face down, to push each House’s army, gold, and popularity markers up or down until one House triumphs or collapses in line with your secret objective. Every turn risks giving away your agenda while the balance of power can swing suddenly to an early ending.
