For a Crown

Noble houses maneuver to claim the throne through recruitment and tactical timing. Players build a single, shared deck by drafting character cards and event cards into their personal sleeves; all cards are shuffled together and revealed one by one. When a card is drawn, the owning player resolves its effect, triggering actions like hiring mercenaries, gaining resources, or affecting rivals. Play proceeds over four rounds, with players accumulating rubies and positioning their influence. The highest ruby total at the end of the fourth round determines the winner.
