== Gameplay ==
Players assume the role of a Noble house and must solve problems in concert while trying to earn the most Favor with the Lord Ruler. There are six resources, Food, Money, Prestige, Skaa, Warriors, and Atium (which serves as a wildcard). There are also two types of cards. Personality cards, which players can use for a variety of effects, such as reducing the resource requirements of the second type of card, Problem cards. Problem cards are scenarios that the players must solve to earn "Favor", and if they fail to do so negative repercussions occur including the awarding of "Disgrace" (negative Favor) or the "Unrest" level being raised. Each House earns different resources forcing them to work together in order to solve Problems.<ref name=kickstarter />

The game ends when a special Problem card, Vin, is either solved or "erupts" or the Unrest level reaches 8. If the game ends with Unrest below 8 then the player with the most Favor wins, if the game ends with Unrest at 8 or higher the player with the least Favor wins.
