## Description
Get ready for an ancient hunt in Die Jagd nach dem Gral, where the quest for the sacred artifact is just the tip of the iceberg! For centuries, initiates from various secret orders – Assassins, Templars, Rosicrucians, and Illuminates – have awaited the moment to bring the Grail to its final destination. But are all of them on the same page? Trust is a luxury few can afford in this intriguing game, where the real battle is for control and influence. The pawns on the gameboard initially belong to no one, and any player can move them. However, the secret to success lies in secretly exerting influence over them. The goal isn't simply to bring the Grail home, but rather to control whoever carries it, proving to be the player with the most power behind the scenes. Each turn, you can move a pawn or secretly invest influence points. If another player's move displeases you, you can reject it by revealing that you have more influence over that pawn. Furthermore, undesirable pawns can be removed from the game if you manage to uncover them, but to do so, you need to control the pawn that will make the revelation, and your influence points are limited. A re-implementation of classics like Conspiracy and The Sigma File, this game challenges your deduction and bluffing skills, where true victory lies in manipulating the pieces without anyone noticing.
