Rival nobles scheme at the queen’s banquet to elevate their families and ruin their opponents’ reputations for the most prestige.

Gameplay

Play three cards each turn, placing one at the queen’s table to shift a family’s standing and placing the others into your domain and an opponent’s to build (or sabotage) scoring sets. The tension is reading which families will end up favored and sticking rivals with points they’ll regret later.
