Are you legitimate in the eyes of your nobles? Each year you must raise taxes to sustain your realm — but whoever you tax will think less of you. Overtax a noble and they'll go into revolt, whispering to their friends that you are unworthy to rule. Fortunately, your spymaster stands ready to identify their friends and rivals. Your poisoner is ready too, though such a drastic action will surely have consequences. Maybe it's wiser to send a problematic noble into exile? Designed for fans of strategy, intrigue, and social deduction, this is a game about reading the room as much as playing the cards in your hand. No two reigns will unfold the same, and few will end happily. Features include: * Manage your legitimacy to prevent revolt. * Poison, exile, and chance reshape your court. * Use nobles’ special abilities and rivalries to your advantage. * Dynamic music system varies between times of peace and revolt. * On devices with Apple Intelligence, the Royal Chronicler writes an AI-powered summary of your deeds.
