Somnium: Rise of Laputa

In a light tableau-building game, monarchs compete for political dominance over a newly discovered floating continent. Players attract nobles to their cause and deploy spies, propagandists, and assassins to disrupt their rivals. Each player starts with three cards and plays one card per turn, gaining the listed amount of Influence before drawing back up to three cards. Card combinations create synergies, but losing a card also means losing its Influence. The first monarch to reach 20 Influence becomes the ruler of the continent. Games support 2–4 players and take under 15 minutes.
