TONIGHT THE QUEEN IS HOLDING A BANQUET Backstabbing is fair game and no trick is too dirty if it can put your favorite family in the spotlight. Cards at the banquet determine the status of each family. Send away courtiers who have fallen from grace and gather the courtiers of highly esteemed families! On each turn you play... • a card in your playing area, • a card in another player's playing area and • a card at the queen's table.
