To see your house exalted, you’ll have to fight and scheme, allying with your rivals and betraying your friends, falling in love with your enemies, daring danger, adventure, romance, and war.
You were born for this.
Fight with your friends. Ally with your rivals. Fall in love with your enemies.
To play, you’ll need 3–5 players, a copy of the playbook for each, and a deck of cards. 1-3 hours, ages 15+.

Finally got the chance to play this and its a blast
Hi, is there any change of getting one community copy? This games looks awesome!
Hi Vincent & Meg, is it possible to get the "decks" PDF? I think my copy has lost a few pieces over the course of many plays (love this game) and was wanting to print up a new set of decks for completion.
