Back a faction, then betray it at the perfect moment.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy reading each other and don't take a stab in the back personally. Best at four.
Not for you if…
You want stable alliances or a clean strategy plan. It is also a 1998 title with a dated look and can be hard to find outside secondhand shelves.
Vibe's take
Tense and calculating, with a satisfying jolt when the Traitor card lands. Small decisions, big consequences.
Two factions, Rose and Eagle, fight over the districts of a small kingdom, and you are loyal to neither. Each round you pick a role card, add power cards to one contested district, and hope the fight tips your way. The traitor role lets you switch sides at the last second, which is exactly as nasty as it sounds.
