Council of Blackthorn
Players take the roles of rival councilors in a fading court, using rumors, bribes, spies and poison to build influence with the kingdom’s factions. Each round uses custom dice to change conditions while players play ally and building cards to gain influence and secret treason points. Players can accuse others to shift suspicion and force the King's justice onto a rival. At the end of the game the player with the most treason is executed and removed; among the survivors the player with the highest influence wins.
