Object of the Game

Be the first player to obtain 20 Influence (crown symbol)!

Set Up

Shuffle all the cards together, and place the deck in reach of all players.

Each player draws 3 cards.

How to Play

1. On your turn, you may play one card from your hand.
2. When you end your turn, draw back up to three cards.
3. The game ends immediately once a player obtains 20 Influence (crown symbol), and that player wins!

There are two types of cards: CHARACTERS and EVENTS.

CHARACTER cards stay in front of you, while EVENT cards go to the discard at the end of turn.

When a CHARACTER card you control enters play, immediately gain Influence tokens equal to its Influence value (indicated on the bottom left of the CHARACTER).

When a CHARACTER card you control leaves play, immediately lose and discard Influence tokens equal to its Influence value (indicated on the bottom left of the CHARACTER).

Some CHARACTER cards have an effect that resolves immediately upon entering play.

Others have recurring effects.
