Vibe's take
mercenary opportunism, shifting allegiances, battle support gambling, investment intrigue
About this game
Six noble houses are at war, and you are the mercenary companies profiting from the chaos. Each round, deploy your captains and troops to support different sides in three simultaneous battles, then collect rewards from the winners. The trick: you can invest in a house's shares, making its victories personally lucrative, then backstab it the next round if the price is right. The shifting allegiances and stock-like investment create a game of pure calculated opportunism.
