The Emperor's throne is vacant, and the island of Oshra is in turmoil! The Hill Tribes and the Imperial Army are on the brink of war, while the Water People try to keep the peace and the Undead just want to see the world burn. Amidst this chaos, six imperial heirs vie for power, but who will actually claim the throne? In Hidden Leaders, you are one of these heirs, with a secret: you're allied with two of the four warring factions. Your goal is to ensure the faction you have the most heroes with emerges victorious, all without revealing your true allegiance! To achieve this, you play hero cards into your personal tableau, either openly or secretly, influencing the course of the war. Victory can be achieved in various ways: dominance by Red or Green, a balance between the two favoring Blue, or even total chaos where Red and Green go to war, benefiting Black. Each player aligned with the winning faction can claim the throne, provided they have more heroes of that color than any other player. It's a fast-paced and strategic game with plenty of interaction and tension, where deduction and bluffing go hand-in-hand. Get ready to guess the intentions of others while protecting your own, all wrapped up in a super fun art style that's sure to bring a smile to your face!
