A Decktet city: play cards, drop influence, and control the most area.

Inventor: P.D. Magnus

Rules

See Decktet wiki: Jacynth. Uses the Decktet.

Goal

When the deck and hands are exhausted, the player controlling the most area (influence on the tableau) wins. 2 or 3 players.

Setup

Default Razeway: six cards start in a diagonal. Each player has a hidden hand. Influence tokens are placed on cards (not on Excuse, Pawns, or Courts in the extended deck).

Gameplay
