Description

The queen is dead! Long live the next heir or heiress or pet who survives this fierce battle of backstabbing, betrayal and dirty tricks. Place one candidate for the throne between every two players and two more in the center of the table. Each player chooses one of their cards, the number on it will determine the turn order. In that order, the players use the ability of the card on the table, available, furthest to the left, covering the old card with which they have played and, thus, create the new sequence of abilities for the next round. At the end of the game the candidates for the throne with more daggers than resistance will be eliminated. The candidate with the lowest value alive will be the worthy successor, and the players who are next to him will be the winners... If any...
