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.

Very fun filler game with an awesome production and art. Funny to play, random in a good way, and with fresh mechanics.
