## Description
If you have always dreamed of sitting on the Iron Throne but know that loyalty is a rare luxury in Westeros, Oathbreaker is your go-to game. This social deduction and bluffing experience casts one player as the King, while others take on the roles of Lords and Ladies. The atmosphere is thick with paranoia: while the King tries to keep order in the realm, conspirators work in the shadows to undermine his authority, and every player also pursues their own secret agenda. The core gameplay revolves around seven intense rounds where missions are proposed and influence cards are played face-down. The success or failure of these missions determines whether the realm leans toward Order or Chaos. The real hook is the hand management: you must decide where to place your influence cards and where to position your House Sigil, all while trying not to raise suspicion. The King has the power to issue decrees, rewarding allies or punishing those who seem suspicious. The catch is that if the King misjudges, he ends up generating more Chaos, which could cost him the game. In the end, victory depends on who managed to align their personal goals with the final state of the realm. It is a fast-paced game where table talk and the ability to read others' intentions are just as important as the cards in your hand. If you enjoy games involving betrayal, political negotiation, and the classic "who is who" group dynamic, Oathbreaker delivers an experience very faithful to the A Song of Ice and Fire universe. Prepare your best poker face, because in Westeros, trusting too much is the fastest way to your end.
