Courtier

by Philip duBarry

Set in the royal court of the City-State of Tempest, Courtier is a strange cross between a trick-taking game and an area control game. You play the role of a courtier, endeavoring to influence the various members of the royal court. Gain control of the right courtiers, and you can complete a petition brought to the queen by a supplicant. You score points, but at the same time you lose control of thsoe courtiers since they have done you a favor. Want to know more? Click here.
