The court that surrounds him contains subjects who seek power. Each player represents a family that will vie for control over subjects. Featuring seven victory conditions the path to victory may shift as you gain more information about each subject’s motives and those of the other families. Your allegiances will twist and change based on your interests. The subjects are but pawns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game is played over two phases:\u003cbr\u003eINTRIGUE PHASE\u003cbr\u003ePlayers will gather information, exert influence, and gather resources.
