To Court the King

Players act as petitioners at the royal court, recruiting servants, officials and nobles to build influence and reach the monarch. Each turn a player rolls a pool of dice, sets aside at least one result, and continues rerolling remaining dice until all are locked. Players then recruit a character by meeting dice-pattern requirements; characters grant persistent benefits such as extra dice or ways to modify rolls. Play continues until a player secures the Queen’s support, triggering a final contest where all players try to produce the longest, highest set of identical dice to claim the King’s favor and win.
