Courtisans (in Serbian) – Intrigue, Betrayal, and the Struggle for Power at the Royal Banquet!

Tonight, the Queen holds a grand banquet that the entire nobility will attend. The only question is: who will leave a lasting impression, and who will fall from grace? In the world of Courtisans, backstabbing is fair game, and no trick is too dirty if it allows you to place your favorite families in the spotlight.
In this game of high strategy and political manipulation, every move you make shifts the destiny of the noble houses. On each turn, you receive three cards that must be wisely distributed:

1. The Queen's Table: One card is played here to sway a family’s influence—either elevating them to prestige or dragging them into scandal.
2. Your Domain: The second card is played in your own area, in hopes that the family will be at the height of its power by the end of the night.
3. An Opponent's Domain: The third card is played in a rival’s area, as you attempt to saddle them with members of families you plan to disgrace.

The value of the cards in your domain depends entirely on that family’s standing at the Queen’s table when the game ends. A family in her favor earns you positive points, while a disgraced family brings negative points. Your task is to manipulate influence so that you end up with the most powerful allies while your rivals are left with outcasts.

The hall is lit, and the music has begun. Will you be the one pulling the strings from the shadows, or just a pawn in someone else’s game?
