Description

A War of Whispers: Dark Alliances is a thrilling expansion that shakes up the world of medieval politics and espionage. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 4 players can dive into a game of strategy and deception that lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. Designed by Jeremy Stoltzfus and released in 2020, this expansion builds upon the original A War of Whispers game, introducing new layers of complexity and intrigue. In Dark Alliances, players must navigate a web of hidden alliances and secret agendas, using powerful cards to influence the game and outmaneuver their opponents. With mechanics like area majority, betting, and bluffing, players must balance their own goals with the need to form temporary alliances and negotiate with other players. But beware - these alliances come with a price, and only the most cunning players will emerge victorious.
