Thron der Lügen*
* 
Thron der Lügen ("Throne of Lies") is a tactical card game for 3 to 6 players aged 8 and up, full of scheming at the fae royal court. The first to reach ten points claims the throne. A game takes about 30 minutes.
What is it about?
At the fae court, nothing is what it seems. The fae folk of the four seasons, along with Sun and Moon, compete for dominance. Everyone has their own agenda, and alliances rarely last.
How it plays
You trade cards cleverly to grow your power. Along the way you score points until someone hits ten. Trading is the core of the game. Every card you give away might hand an opponent exactly what they were missing.
What defines it
- Six factions: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Sun and Moon
- Lots of interaction through card trading
- A win can still slip away at the last moment
- Small box, quick to teach
Who is it for?
Families and groups of friends who enjoy bluffing, bargaining and being a little mean. The intrigue shines brightest with more players at the table.
Conclusion
Thron der Lügen is a brisk game of intrigue with a lovely fae theme. If you like keeping track of the table and striking at the right time, you will have fun. Players who hate seeing their plans ruined may prefer something more peaceful.
