About the game
What you do in a play session
The heart of the game beats through a strategic tableau-building system. This means you'll be drafting action cards from an open pool and building your own 'tableau' of capabilities. The fun lies in how you combine these cards to optimize your turns and overcome narrative challenges. But don't be fooled by the apparent cooperation: while the group's actions determine how the story ends, final glory is individual. In the end, only one of you will be remembered as the true hero of the story.
The game successfully balances the depth of a strategic card game with a non-linear narrative, making every session feel like a new interpretation of the books and games. With a medium weight, it's not as simple as a party game, but it also doesn't require you to be an RPG master to have fun. It's the perfect mix for those who love building combos and seeing how their decisions shape a cruel world. If you enjoy optimizing your board and competing against friends in a battle of influence and strategy, this is the game for you.
