Read the full game description
Enter a royal court where every card serves three agendas at once. On each turn, place one courtier at the Queen’s table to influence whether that family will be esteemed or disgraced, keep one in your own domain, and give one to an opponent. Courtier powers can rearrange the balance, while secret objectives reward particular families or patterns. When the deck runs out, cards from esteemed families score and disgraced families lose points, turning every gift and every vote at court into a compact social calculation.
