Courtisans

Courtisans

You have an exclusive invitation. Tonight, the queen hosts a lavish banquet, and the entire court will be in attendance. Amidst the glittering chandeliers and sumptuous feasts, the true game unfolds: Will you leave an indelible mark or fade into obscurity? In this treacherous dance of power, backstabbing is fair game, and no trick is too dirty if it means elevating your chosen families to the pinnacle of influence.

In the thrilling game of Courtisans, every turn is a strategic maneuver. You hold three cards, each a key to swaying the balance of power. One card is played at the Queen's table, where it can either elevate a family's influence or tarnish their reputation. The other two cards are deployed within your own domain and an opponent's domain, their worth shifting between positive and negative points depending on the family's standing at game's end.

Decide wisely where to place your cards to amass the most points and emerge victorious. Navigate the intricate web of courtly intrigue, and remember: only the most cunning will succeed in this high-stakes battle for prestige and power.
