Courtisans

Yes — you must play all 3 cards each turn, placing one card in each area (Queen's table, your domain, an opponent's domain), and you may play them in any order (page 1).

At the end of the game, any family with more cards placed above the mat than below is esteemed; any family with more cards below than above is fallen (page 1).

At game end each card in an esteemed family is worth +1 point and each card in a fallen family is worth −1 point, and cards placed in an opponent's domain affect that opponent's score the same way (page 1).

Each Noble counts as two cards at the end of the game wherever it is placed (in a domain or around the Queen's table), so it doubles its effect on esteem and scoring (page 2).

Spies are always played face down and no one may look at a played spy (not even the player who played it); when played around the Queen's table they are placed in the Queen's column to hide their family (page 2).

When played an Assassin may eliminate one other Courtier in that area (it may remove a spy without looking at it), but Guards cannot be eliminated by assassins and are permanently immune once played (page 2).
