Rising for the Throne

Players command one of six rival clans, each with a distinct identity—political schemers, martial fighters, magic users, wealthy merchants, fearless warriors, or bold explorers. Roll dice to gather resources, then spend those resources to recruit troops, activate clan and card abilities, and pursue Victory Points. Cards and abilities provide tactical options for building forces or disrupting opponents, while random events such as storms, floods, and plagues can damage or occasionally aid armies. The game ends when a player reaches the required Victory Points, so players balance resource risk, recruitment, and interaction to achieve their goals.
