Players control one of the nine noble houses of the Ruelen Empire, and with the ruler’s death, they are each attempting to gain enough control and influence to claim the crown. Players can exchange cards and favors through diplomacy, or attack opponents through warfare to gain what they need.
The box contains 90 House cards, 18 Vote cards, 11 Guest cards, 37 Raven tokens, 9 Reference cards, and a round track. The game is for 4-9 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 45 minutes. MSRP $29.99.
