Read the full game description

Enthrone is a two-player abstract strategy and deduction game played with eight sculpted fantasy busts. Each player secretly controls one pawn, but every move also changes which figures can act, be moved, or be captured. Victory can come from entering the throne undetected, identifying and eliminating the rival heir, or removing three assigned political targets. The shifting queue makes every action both a positional move and a clue.
