Road To Lord

2–4 players · 15 min · 8+

-- Story -- Local lords competed to send more things to the king to receive more lands. When someone sends an offering, other lords will do the same. Swear greater loyalty by many swords? Pay more wheat as a tribute? Pay better wine as a luxury item? Finally, the lord who sends most many things to the king receives the new lands. Gold coins and jewelry are great gifts for more appeal. The king loves both gold coins and jewelry. But what the king wants most is different each time. You will gain greater trust from the king if you outwit other lords to send what the king wants most. Get the king's trust and receive the new lands in 8 seasons, that is, 2 years.

-- Overview -- This game is simple standard 3 suits mulst-follow trick-taking game. However, there is a characteristic difference that multiple cards can be used at once. But be careful to get penalty points when your all cards are gone before the game ends.

The player who gains the most points in 8 times "Gift to King" (as mini-game) wins.
