Enthrone

An ages-old game of intrigue, guile and deduction for two players. You are the silent hand. One of 8 unwitting pawns will be your key to securing ultimate power. But your rival hides their own machinations to challenge you. Can you deduce their identity and eliminate them? Remove three key political targets? Or simply waltz in undetected and seize the throne?

Tiles in the top two spaces are the only ones capable of capturing and eliminating a piece. Tiles in the top three positions are the only once who can be moved to the Throne space (so long as it is YOUR pawn). Manipulating and strategizing how to move and position these tiles to suit your agenda is critical. Keeping your identity secret, while unveiling your opponents is
