Tonight the queen holds a banquet that everyone will attend. Will they leave a good impression? Backstabbing is fair game and no trick is too dirty if it allows you to place your favorite families in the spotlight.

HOW TO PLAY:

In Courtisans you receive and play three cards on each of your turns. One is played at the Queen's table to sway a family's influence which can be influenced positively or negatively. The two other cards are played in your domain and in an opponent's domain and they can be worth positive or negative points depending on their family's status - either Esteemed (+1) or Disgraced (-1) - at the end of the game. Additionally some Courtiers have special powers when played and each player begins the game with a secret scoring objective. 

Choose where best to place your three cards if you want to end up with the most points and win.
