Tied romance progress now blocks winning a lady’s favour.

If several players are equally close to her, no one wins her favour yet. One player may be courting her, two may be charming her, three may be merely flirting — but a tie means unresolved competition.
Very inconvenient. Very social. Very Vienna.

Most recent change in gossip mechanics: this time you don’t always control gossip directly.
It moves whenever you engage in public social actions. You don’t have to do it publicly, though — you can use the post office and send a letter, but only if you prepared one earlier.
And if you feel particularly cunning, you can still spread your own rumours. Because Vienna, obviously.

Come, play, summon forgotten souls, and help me shape the game. 🔥

I wrote about my experience at PAX West as an indie game designer and general hobbiest. This was an amazing, life changing experience for me. #PAXWest #boardgames #indieboardgames #indiegames
