Description

In Succession: Intrigue in the Royal Court, you're a master of palace politics, vying to become the power behind the throne. The aging King is choosing a successor, and as a courtier, you'll manipulate his opinion of the candidates through clever intrigues and strategic maneuvering. You'll need to out-bluff and out-maneuver your opponents, managing your resources carefully to come out on top. This game of politics and deal-making is easy to learn, but challenging to master, and can be played with 2 to 5 players in about 90 minutes. With variable player powers and voting mechanics, you'll need to negotiate and bluff your way to success, making promises and offering rewards to get what you want. Will you emerge as the most influential courtier, or will you become the next court jester? In Succession, the path to power is yours to forge.
