Beasts and Diplomacy
Knights draft cards to assemble exhibitions of wild and rare beasts that appeal to the land’s diplomats. Players build tableaux, fulfill secret quests, manage ore for rising maintenance costs, and adapt their plans as opponents take cards and alter available opportunities. After three days of drafting and development, diplomats evaluate each exhibition alongside completed quests, and the knight with the most Influence Points wins.
