Description

In Winter Court, you and your opponent take on the roles of rival diplomats vying for influence in a medieval court, all confined to a single castle during the harsh winter months. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be plotting your strategy in no time, navigating the complex web of relationships and alliances within the court. As a card game designed by Thomas Lehmann, Winter Court promises a thrilling experience, with each playthrough lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. As you manipulate the royal court, you'll need to decide how to approach the royals and other court members, using your influence wisely to gain the upper hand. The steward's purse, the lover's charm, the knight's valor, and even the charlatan's cunning can all be valuable assets in your quest for power. With hand management and tug of war mechanics at play, every decision counts, and the sudden death ending will keep you on the edge of your seat. As you accumulate victory points, you'll need to use them strategically to outmaneuver your opponent and emerge victorious. Will you curry favor with the court members or make a bold move to win over the royals directly? In Winter Court, the choice is yours, and the outcome is far from certain.
