## Description
In Tyrus, two political factions engage in a strategic battle for control of the city. Elections take place in three key locations: citadels, markets, and temples, where you must allocate your soldiers, merchants, and priests to secure the majority of votes. Each round is a dance of bluffs and strategy, as you can cancel your opponent's votes or use your pieces to pressure them. The game is pure tension: you need to balance strength, influence, and resource management because you never know when you'll need that saved piece. With rock-paper-scissors mechanics and secret unit deployment, Tyrus is a quick (30-minute) game that requires both calculation and a poker face. Available online on Boiteajeux and Yucata for asynchronous play.
