Alafair

In Alafair, players dive into a world of political intrigue and epic conflicts, taking on the role of one of five powerful noble houses or the cunning criminal association, Nettet. The goal is clear: conquer the Eagle Throne, the seat of power, using every tool at your disposal. Prepare for battles on land and sea, or summon legendary heroes to resolve more delicate conflicts. The key to victory lies in your ability to negotiate, bluff, and forge alliances – but, even more importantly, in knowing the right time to break them! The game unfolds over seven intense rounds. Each round begins with players strengthening their forces by acquiring valuable cards from the marketplace. Then, tension rises as houses declare war on each other, initiating the negotiation phase. This is where the true plot unfolds: threats, bribes, and persuasive deals shape alliances and betrayals. At the end of the conflict, cards are revealed, exposing who honored their promises and who chose to stab their allies in the back. Victory Points and Lights are awarded, and a new king is elected to the Eagle Throne, securing more Lights and riches. Oh, and don't forget the monsters from the Ice Tower! They will attack, and you'll have to decide whether to cooperate to defeat them or let your rivals weaken themselves alone. Victory can be achieved by accumulating Victory Points in conflicts or by collecting seven Lights, either by winning elections or leading wars. If someone reaches seven Lights, victory is instant. Otherwise, the player with the most Victory Points at the end wins. Based on the acclaimed trilogy 'Istårnet & De Syv Lys', Alafair promises a game experience rich in narrative and impactful decisions.
