Description

Secret organizations fight for the right to rule over the Old Kingdom. Intrigue, blackmail, and threats are commonplace for those struggling for power in the shadow of the royal throne. As you control more servants, nobles, and dignitaries, you gain influence and get closer to your goal...the real "power behind the throne" will be known soon!

Behind the Throne is a simple and fast push-your-luck card game, where players collect sets of cards to get new special abilities.
