Imagine yourself in the heart of a medieval castle, where walls have ears and a well-placed whisper is worth more than a thousand swords. In Council, the atmosphere is one of pure political intrigue. A vital position in the king's circle of counselors has become vacant after a mysterious death, and now it's your chance to climb the hierarchy of power. But don't think it'll be easy; you'll be competing against other aspirants who are just as cunning and manipulative as you are.

The game blends the luck of the dice with strategic precision. You won't just roll and hope; you'll use dice as tools of influence. Through allocation and drafting mechanics, you must decide where to invest your efforts: is it more valuable to win over an influential court member or focus on fulfilling royal decrees to gain prestige? The struggle is intense, as every occupied space and every forged alliance can be the difference between becoming the number one counselor or being forgotten in the castle corridors.

Get ready for a tactical clash where influence management is key. You'll need to plan your moves, anticipate your opponents' plays, and know exactly when to strike. With end-game bonuses that reward long-term planning, Council transforms medieval politics into a game of cat and mouse full of twists and turns. Do you have the cunning required to manipulate the court and win the king's trust, or will you just be another pawn in someone else's game? The council chair is waiting, but only the sharpest mind will claim it.
