The air is buzzing in the King’s Court! All the advisers are busy bustling about the young
monarch, each one trying their best to attract the ruler’s attention. When the King finally takes
power, he will surely appoint his most loyal advisers to positions within his Council. How will
they stand out? By taking on the most prestigious duties, of course! Who will take care of all the
necessary tasks concerning diplomacy, architecture, and the military - not to mention all the
royal banquets? Most importantly… how will you choose the right time to sweeten the pot and
belittle the other contenders in the King’s eyes? Improving your own image while weakening
others’ - that’s the Court in a nutshell!

Overview and Goal

The game is played over 2 phases. During the first phase, players will take turns drawing cards one
by one and deciding where to place them until the deck is empty. During the second phase, players
will acquire new cards and gain riches. Be the player with the most influence in each office of the
government to gain the most points!
Invest your Gold wisely to establish yourself in different offices: diplomacy, military, architecture,
livestock, entertainment, and provisions! Lower the esteem of the offices your opponents are focused
on to become the ultimate Adviser to the King!

 Gameplay
The game is played over 2 phases:
1. Share Influence Phase
2. Gain Esteem Phase
1 Share Influence Phase
During this phase, the players will take turns being the
Advisor. The Advisor will distribute cards from the deck to
themselves, the other players, and a common Favor deck.
Players continue taking turns until the deck is empty.
Each player’s turn is divided into 3 steps:
You must place the card you draw before drawing the next
card. You cannot change your decision and move the card
after you draw the next card.
Keep distributing cards until you reach the limit in all 3
areas. Then continue to the next step.
2. Choose Central Cards
Each of your opponents, starting with the player to your
left and going clockwise, will choose one of the cards you
placed in the middle of the table and add it to their personal
deck, face down.

1. Distribute Cards

When it is your turn as Advisor, draw the top card from the
deck, consider it carefully without showing it to the other
players, then place it in one of 3 areas:
• In front of yourself
Place the card face down in front of you, in your
personal deck.
Limit per turn: 1 card
• In the middle of the table
Place the card face up in the middle of the table
Limit per turn: 1 card per opponent
• Next to the Government board
Place the card face down next to the Government board on
top of the Favor deck.
Limit per turn: 1 card
Then, draw the next card and repeat the procedure. If you
reach the limit of one of these 3 areas on your turn, you can
no longer place any more cards there. In total, you will only
distribute one card per player plus one.

 3. Change Adviser

Give the deck to the player to your left. They become

modify the value of one or more Primary Duty tiles (refer to
the symbols below). Put the King card back in the box. If the deck is empty, continue to the GAIN ESTEEM
PHASE.
You cannot decrease a value below 1 and you cannot increase a
value above 6. You cannot modify a Secondary Duty tile either.
When you modify the value of a tile, replace the tile on the EXAMPLE
board with the corresponding tile showing the new value.

Increase or decrease the value of a single

The value of Secondary Duty tiles will change automatically
throughout the game depending on the value of the Primary
Duty tiles. Their value is always equal to half of the
corresponding Primary Duty tile (rounded down). If this value
is 0, do not put any Secondary Duty tile on the board.
Adjust the value of the Secondary Duty tiles during the game,
any time you change the value of a Primary Duty tile.
During a 2-player game, only the Primary Duty tiles are
used. Ignore the rules for the Secondary Duty tiles.

1 I n a 4-player game, you draw the top card of the
deck and decide to keep it.
2 You draw the next card and place it in the middle
of the table, face up.
3 You like the third card, but have already kept a
card for yourself. So, you place it on top of the
common Favor deck, hoping to acquire it in the
second phase of the game.
4 You must place the next 2 cards in the middle of the
table. Your opponents will take turns choosing
the 3 face-up cards in the middle.
5
 Gameplay
2 Gain Esteem Phase
This phase plays over several rounds.
First, shuffle the common Favor deck and place it face-
down in the middle of the table.
Each player takes their personal deck into their hand.
The player to the left of the last Adviser in the previous phase
becomes the first player.
Then follow these steps in order, repeating the steps until
the common deck is empty:
1 The first player reveals the top card of the Favor deck
and places it in the middle of the table.
2 Starting with the first player then taking turns in
clockwise order, Raise or Pass following the rules
outlined below.
3 Whoever wins the card pays the total amount they bid
and takes the card into their hand.
Gain Esteem
On your turn, you can try to Gain Esteem by bidding
a number or Pass.
BID
The first number bid that round must be equal to or greater
than 1. Any subsequent bids must be strictly greater than
the previous number declared during that round. Players can
continue raising the bid around the table multiple times.
PASS
If you Pass, you are removed from the bidding and can no longer
Raise this round. You can Pass as early as your first turn.
6
END OF A ROUND
When all players but one have passed, the remaining player
wins the bid and successfully Gains Esteem. They must pay
whatever they declared on their last bid.
• If the card players were bidding on is a Government or
King card, the winner must pay as much Gold as the last
number they bid. They must discard one or more Gold cards
face up from their hand until the sum shown on those Gold
card(s) is equal to or greater than their winning bid.
If they discard more Gold than required, they do not get any
change. If they won a Government card, they take it into
their hand. If they won a King card, they immediately apply
its effect (see p.5) then discard it.
• If the card players were bidding on is a Gold card, the
winner must discard as many cards (of any type) from their
hand as the last number they declared. They discard these
cards face down without showing them to anyone. Then,
they take the card they won into their hand.
You might be tempted to raise the bid for a card you aren’t
actually interested in, solely to make it more expensive for your
opponents. But if you win this bid, you must still pay it.
If you don’t have enough cards to pay, you don’t pay
anything. Instead, the player to your left immediately draws
a random card from your hand and discards it face down
without showing it to anyone. Then, all players except you bid
for the same card. You cannot participate this round.
If all players Pass without bidding on a card, discard the card.
Once the revealed card is won or discarded, the player to the
left of the first player becomes the first player for the next
round. Then they reveal the top card of the Favor deck and the
players bid on it.
After the final round is over and the common deck is empty,
continue to the END OF THE GAME.

You try to gain this King card by bidding 2 Gold. Your neighbor bids 4 Gold and the other players Pass. It’s your
turn again and you decide to Pass as well. Your neighbor must pay 4 Gold. In her hand, she has a 2 Gold card
and a 3 Gold card. She pays both of these cards by discarding them face up, but doesn’t get back the 1 extra 5
Gold she paid. She takes the King card and plays it immediately.
