Henchmania

Players take the role of rival medieval lords who command monstrous henchmen to vie for control of a quirky city. On each turn, players move henchmen, contest locations, and use special abilities to gain or deny prestige across four days or until a player reaches 30 prestige. Earning prestige comes from controlling city areas, completing actions, and manipulating opponents; many actions can also cost prestige. The game combines area control, tactical combat, and resource management as players plan sacrifices, skirmishes, and influence plays to become the city's seneschal.
