Rules Gimmicks

  • No interrupts in mid-narration
  • If a player doesn't act on his turn for a day, the next player can take the turn for free, or any other player can take it for 1 coin
  • The targeted royal is never to be explicitly identified
  • Anyone can attach a good and appropriate picture to a component for 1 coin, like a trait. It acts as a proper name, aiding a character in any complication (since a portrait signifies character's importance to the story)
