In Royal Court, the politics are personal — because every noble, knight, and schemer at the table is someone you know. Submit photographs and our artists will create richly illustrated character cards for up to eight players, each with a unique ability tree, a backstory that weaves into the game narrative, and beautifully hand-lettered name banners. The modular board system means the kingdom reshapes itself every session: castles rise, alliances shift, and trade routes open and close. The event deck introduces crises, celebrations, and scandals that demand negotiation and quick thinking. At the heart of it all is the Royal Court mechanic — a central council where players spend influence tokens to enact laws, levy taxes, or declare war. Betrayal is inevitable. Forgiveness is optional. Victory belongs to the most cunning. The entire collection arrives in a velvet-lined collector's box with a magnetic clasp, worthy of any throne room.
