Courtisans

Courtisans is a quick-play card game of courtly intrigue for 2–5 players — where every card you play could lift your allies or sink your rivals.

Tonight is the Queen's banquet, and the kingdom's great families are vying for influence. On each turn you play three cards: one to the Queen's table to shift a family's standing, one to your own domain, and one to an opponent's. When the banquet ends, the balance of power determines which families score you points — and which cost you them. Read the room, play your hand wisely, and outmanoeuvre the court.
