Theme & Description:
We each take on roles in a mutable republic, playing cards to shape its history, vie for influence and steer the evolving balance between rulers and outlaws. The game's shared card tableau and dual victory conditions create a deep, narrative-rich strategy where past decisions permanently alter future gameplays. It feels like an epic, political chronicle of rising and falling power in a world that never resets between plays.
