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 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!
