About the game
Hey everyone! Ready for a power struggle worthy of nobles in Valeria? In Thrones of Valeria, we dive into a universe where the Great Houses are constantly at war, scheming and conspiring to see who reigns supreme. This card game, with a touch of fantasy and reminiscent of lively tavern matches, is pure tension!

The main goal here isn't just winning rounds, but accumulating coins. Each card has a special power that can turn the game upside down, causing a powerful House to fall into disgrace or a humble one to rise in status. It's a trick-taking game where strategy is fundamental, and manipulating the Houses' prestige is the key to victory. With cool components, like a standings board and chunky tiles resembling Mahjong pieces, the visual appeal is already exciting.

Thrones of Valeria truly shines with 3 or more players, whether in individual mode or in teams. The team dynamic adds an extra layer of strategy and negotiation, making each game unique. It's a great choice for those who enjoy card games with a hint of intrigue and plot twists. If you like the adrenaline rush of bluffing and predicting opponents' moves, this game will win you over. Prepare for betrayals, alliances, and lots of fun!
