{"product_id":"duhr-the-lesser-houses","title":"PREORDER Duhr - The Lesser Houses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe monolithic city-state of Dûhr is at once a crucible of emerging and forgotten cultures a cynosure of commerce and a titan of military might. Its Great and Lesser Houses rise and fall with the whims of its Family Royal the Sovereign House Kythidûhr. Amidst the festivals of summer House Kythidûhr announced its intent to elevate one of Dûhr’s Lesser Houses to Great House status. By autumn’s frosts the Lesser Houses were deeply embroiled in a fierce battle for the coveted title. Not with soldiers for that would waste blood and gold but with the most insidious of political weapons: suspicion and scandal. They attacked each other with aspersions and calumny well devised and craftily exploited designed to erode the social standing of their rival Houses and thereby remove them from contention.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDûhr: The Lesser Houses\u003c\/strong\u003e accommodates 4 to 6 players. Each player is the master of a Lesser House of Dûhr vying for Great House status. Players take turns using cards in their hand to trigger \u003cem\u003eevents\u003c\/em\u003e place \u003cem\u003esuspicions\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003escandals\u003c\/em\u003e on each other’s House or activate their own House’s \u003cem\u003eunique ability\u003c\/em\u003e to affect cards already placed. The accumulation of suspicion and scandal cards on a House card erodes the populace’s favor for that House by raising suggestions of wrongdoing or embroiling it in scandals that incite public outrage.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAll Houses begin the game without any suspicions or scandals and favored by the people of Dûhr. When a House accumulates a combined total of 5 suspicion and\/or scandal cards that House falls into \u003cem\u003edisfavor\u003c\/em\u003e with the populace. If a disfavored House ever has 3 or more revealed scandal cards the House becomes \u003cem\u003evilified\u003c\/em\u003e. The game ends immediately when the number of favored Houses remaining is 1 or none. Whoever has the highest score at that point wins the game. It is possible for a disfavored or vilified House to outscore a favored House and win the game!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePronunciation note: pronounce û in Dûhr like the oo in doom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Devious Weasel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406916116827,"sku":"15568001598","price":15.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/8442\/3771\/files\/pic4096709_d1cde9d1-d782-4d33-bed3-2fc17e1bacd1.jpg?v=1781909147","url":"https:\/\/cardsflip.shop\/products\/duhr-the-lesser-houses","provider":"Cards Flip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
