Description

Gambit Royale is a fast-paced card game where players try to outmaneuver each other to gain the most fame. With a simple ruleset that's easy to learn, this game is perfect for 2 to 6 players looking for a fun and quick experience that lasts around 30 minutes. The game is set in a medieval world where players use their royal household to cause problems for their opponents and gain an advantage. Players collect goal cards and use influence cards to try and claim them, with the player having the most influence on a goal getting to keep it. The game is full of twists and turns, with mechanics like hand management and push your luck adding to the excitement. With its moderate in-game text, players may need a crib sheet to keep track of everything, but that's all part of the fun in this take-that style game where strategy and luck collide.
