The king is retiring, and a scramble for succession sweeps the castle. You hold a secret card naming which characters you favor, and higher floors are worth more points. Nudge your hidden picks upward through bluff and clever placement while masking who you really back.
Who it's for
Social groups who enjoy bluffing, deduction and misdirection, and larger tables looking for a quick, chatty scheming game.
Not for you if…
You want tight strategy or dislike hidden-agenda chaos. With few players the deduction thins, and outcomes lean heavily on table dynamics.
Vibe's take
A chatty, social bluff of nudging hidden favorites upward while misdirecting the table about who you really support.
