Once there was a young adventurer who rescued a mighty Djinn trapped in the heart of a swamp. Together, they built the magical city of Cardia. 

Today, life in the city is flourishing. Yet four factions are struggling for power: the Rebellion from the swamp, the scholars from the Academy , the Guild with their mechanical contraptions, and the Dynasty , descendants of the adventurer.

Whoever wins the powerful signet rings, and thus the favour of the factions, becomes the next ruler of Cardia. Play your cards right and outsmart your opponent!

Madison D. ★★★★★

The Djinn-backstory hook got me to try it, and the city-building tension with those four factions keeps every turn tight. Setup takes about five minutes, which means we’ve already gotten three plays in this week.

Samuel Q. ★★★☆☆

The card art is nice, and the theme of building a city with a Djinn is creative, but the rulebook left us confused during our first few plays. Setup takes longer than I'd like for a game that only runs about 30 minutes.
