📖 About This Game

The king's centennial celebration is underway but with no heirs, succession is anyone's game. Noble families from across the realm gather to win the monarch's favor in a lavish court of manipulation and prestige. Amid grand balls and whispered schemes, only the most cunning family will secure the throne. Aristofarsa is a hybrid of trick-taking and deckbuilding. Each round, players either compete in the Garden by playing nobles to win tricks-or use the Balcony to activate effects that alter outcomes or acquire stronger cards. Balancing bold plays and subtle manipulation, players shape their decks and influence to earn the king's favor. The game ends when a noble triggers final scoring.
