Who it's for

Players who like a short card game with hidden knives and a medieval flavor.

Not for you if…

You want deep strategy or a theme that goes beyond a light dusting of court intrigue.

Vibe's take

Light but sneaky, with hand management dressed up as palace gossip. Best when the table is watching each other closely.

About this game

Intrigue at the royal court, where every player lays out a display of courtiers and tries to keep each character showing up only once. Let duplicates pile up and your rivals gain the king's favor at your expense. A tight little card game of timing and quiet sabotage.
