Each player leads a house of Drow in a section of the Underdark below the Sword Coast. The Drow house is represented by a deck of cards, with each card being a minion in that player’s deck. Each minion belongs to one of five aspects of Drow society, and those aspects correspond to different strategies in the game (e.g. assassinating opponents’ troops, recruiting additional minions, promoting minions to your “”inner circle””, etc.).
Players gain points by controlling sites, recruiting valuable minions, promoting minions to their inner circles, and assassinating troops, and whoever ends the game with the most points wins. (4 player game including GM).
