About the game

What you do in a play session

Gambit Royale is a fast-paced card game full of intrigue, where wizards, dragons, and nobles compete for fame in a medieval kingdom. Each round, players reveal secret objectives and use their influence cards to sabotage rivals and score points. With hand management, set collection, and a dash of 'take that,' every match is a battle of bluffs and strategies. The game lasts six rounds, and in the end, whoever has the most points — or completes a full set of symbols — wins! The 2018 edition added extra cards, increasing the potential for surprise moves. Perfect for those who enjoy direct interaction and a bit of controlled chaos.
