Who it's for

Groups who enjoy arguing at the table and don't mind hard positional conflict. Made for four players.

Not for you if…

You want a conflict-free build-your-own-engine game or short playtime. Negotiations can drag badly with indecisive players, and at two players the central action-collision mechanism barely functions.

Vibe's take

Tense and talkative. Every round has that half-second of dread when the action cards flip and you see who picked what.

About this game

The king is dying and his heirs carve up the realm. Each round a card shows three possible actions, and everyone secretly picks one with a numbered card. With four players and three actions, someone always collides with someone else, and then you negotiate or duel.
