In Metras, you lead a noble family vying for power in the Imperial Court through lavish parties, dangerous missions, and... lots of scheming! Over 5 rounds, you'll auction off actions using your Influence Points (yes, the same currency you need to win). Each purchased action represents a move at court tied to one of your family's four branches: Fame (social status), Exploration (military might), Wealth (economy), and Espionage (dirty secrets). Recruit allies to strengthen your branches and dominate this Renaissance power struggle. Warning: bluffing in auctions and negotiating temporary alliances is key in this game where betrayal might become trendy!
