Description:
Enthrone board game is a stunning abstract 2-player deduction game featuring an octagonal board ringed by eight intricately crafted pawns: the King, Priestess, Knight, Jester, Demon, Assassin, Archer, and Wizard. Each player draws three identity cards, secretly selects one pawn to enthrone, and knows the other two are not their opponent's (leaving two identities unknown). Victory comes from advancing your pawn to the central throne, deducing and capturing your rival's pawn, or eliminating three specific targets listed on your card. Gameplay revolves around a hex tile track where the bottom three tiles are locked, the top five can be cycled upward by placing one at the bottom, only the top two enable captures and eliminations, and the top three allow movement to the throne—demanding clever bluffing, deduction, and strategic maneuvering amid tense secrecy.
