Overview

A political tug-of-war where you play politics with the wealth of a nation.

Neutral factions require Treasure to maintain their Standing. Players can make a Pact with a faction, promising to keep the faction's Standing above a specific level.

Players use Influence to control key political figures and the flow of Treasure

Pull Treasure from other factions to enrich the factions you've allied with and increase their Standing

Carefully predict and control the flow of Treasure to gain Legitimacy and win the game!

An immersive event system pulls players into the world and provides each player unique and powerful events that inform how they approach politics.

The grieving HEIR starts with power, but has prior obligations that hinder her ability to keep the crown.

The rich and conniving USURPUR seeks to take the crown for herself, using whatever means necesarry.

The druidic OUTCAST was declared heretical by the creation of a state religion, and now has a chance to destroy the existing religion and form a new theocracy.

The subtle FIREBRAND seeks the end of the crown, and the creation of a animal's republic.
