Thrones of Valeria

Players compete as rival noble houses in a trick-taking game where victory depends on coins gained rather than trick count. Each card has a special power that alters trick outcomes and shifts the prestige of the five suits, causing houses to rise and fall in value during play. The game supports 3–6 players (with variant rules for two) and can be played individually or in teams. Components include a standings board that tracks house prestige, chunky tiles representing each house’s power, a custom draw bag, coin tokens, and a deck of power cards that drive strategic rank manipulation.
