How It Plays
Card Play Conflict Resolution
Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.
Events
Random events shake things up during the game — sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always interesting.

Multi-Use Cards
Each card can be used in multiple ways — deciding how to play it is a juicy strategic choice.

Players talk, bargain, and make deals with each other — your persuasion skills matter as much as your strategy.
Rondel
Actions are arranged in a circle, and your token moves around it — where you stop determines what you can do.
