About the game

What you do in a play session

Emblems is a card game that blends strategy, opportunism, and a touch of chaos. Each turn starts with players choosing a card, considering its value and effect, and placing it face down. Then, everyone reveals their cards and places them in one of three locations: Castle, Village, or Port. At the end of the round, gold coins are awarded to the players with the highest-value cards in each location. The simplicity of the rules is deceptive, as the game demands quick thinking and bold decisions. The one who can balance strategy and opportunism will emerge victorious!
