Intrige (Intrigue, German Edition)

You begin the game with a palace (encompassing 4 areas) and 8 scholars in your color. You send your scholars to foreign palaces and try to place them in high-salary positions. In order to successfully apply for positions at other palaces (and try to ensure a high income), you must convince the palace owner of your scholar’s excellent qualities. Competition for each position is fierce, and eve a hired scholar can be replaced. Everything is allowed – a little bribe under the table, promises, threats, persuasiveness, and flattery – and every promise can be broken.

You make money in two ways during the game. You collect wages from all of your scholars employed in other player’s palaces. You also make money from the bribes that you collect every time someone applies for a position in your palace.

The player with the most money – collected by whatever means possible- after 5 rounds wins the game!
