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. 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, whether in a positive or negative manner. 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 at the end of the game. Choose where best to place your three cards if you want to end up with the most points and win. Guide the Courtiers around the hall and attempt to sway a family’s influence. Manage your Courtiers and read the plans of your opponents to emerge with the most points! There are 6 different families consisting of 15 Courtier cards each. On your turn you’ll draw 3 cards, then play 1 to the Queen’s Table, 1 in your Domain, and the last in an opponent’s Domain. At the Queen’s table, cards can be played either above or below the column of the matching family. At the end of the game, the families with more cards above than below will be Esteemed. Those with more cards below the mat than above will be Disgraced. The cards in each players’ domain will be scored based on whether their families are Esteemed (+1) or Disgraced (-1). Additionally, some Courtiers have special powers when played and each player begins the game with a secret scoring objective. The player with the most points wins! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e DIRECTIONS \u003cbr\u003e Draw 3 cards, then play 1 to the Queen’s Table, 1 in your Domain, and the last in an opponent’s Domain.
