## Description
In Dûhr: The Lesser Houses, you are the master of a rising noble house, vying to become the premier house in the city-state of Dûhr. The royal family has announced that one of the lesser houses will be elevated to Great House status, and the competition is heating up! But forget armies and bloody battles; here, the war is waged with intrigue, gossip, and scandal. The goal is to undermine your rivals' reputations by spreading suspicion and chaos. Each player manages their hand of cards to trigger events, plant suspicion and scandal cards on opposing houses, or use their own house's unique ability to defend or attack. Accumulating 5 suspicion and/or scandal cards on your house causes it to fall into popular disfavor. If a disfavored house has 3 or more revealed scandal cards, it becomes vilified. The game ends when only one favored house remains (or none!), and whoever has the highest score wins, even if your house has fallen into disfavor or been vilified! Prepare for a fast-paced game full of 'take that' plays, where diplomacy and backstabbing go hand in hand. With variable powers for each house, replayability is guaranteed. It's a fierce contest for glory, where reputation is worth more than gold.
