About the Game

The old king is on his deathbed. Around him, greedy heirs covet his immense fortune. Infiltrate the court, influence the line of succession, win the loyalty of the heirs, and forge the last will to your advantage. In this race for opulence, there is only one goal: finish the game with the fullest pockets!

Seven heirs stand before the throne, each with their own wealth and ambitions.

At each turn, draw 2 cards

Secretly keep one to increase your influence over an heir Use the other to either: Scheme (discard): trigger immediate effects (rearrange heirs, shift wealth…) Plot (facedown): subtly alter the king’s Last Will

When the draw deck runs out, it is reshuffled… and from that moment on, the king may die at any time.

When the third Tomb card is revealed, the king dies.

The Last Will is read, reshaping both wealth and succession order. The fortune is distributed: heirs closest to the king receive the greatest share. Players reveal their influence: for each heir, the majority takes full control of their wealth
