A pocket-sized bluffing game where every card you play is a secret, irreversible bet on which medieval faction you're courting.
Who it's for
Players who like compact bluffing games with real decision weight – think a sharper, faster cousin of a hand-management duel. Great for two players who enjoy reading each other's patterns.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategic planning or a long play session – this is over in twenty minutes and thrives on gut calls, not long-term plotting.
Vibe's take
Quiet and tense in short bursts – everyone reveals at once, so there's a held-breath moment each round before the table erupts over who guessed right. Turns are fast, but the arithmetic of comparing influence totals rewards careful counting.
Tallinn drops you into the medieval Baltic city of Reval, where three rival powers – the Teutonic Knights, the church, and the merchant guilds – compete for your loyalty. Every card you play is a secret choice: which half of its symbols will count, and which will vanish from the game forever. It's a tight, clever card game about commitment and its cost.
