About the game
Two players compete to populate their playing area (DOMAIN) with EIGHT personality cards (THRELMS), four of a NOBLE type and four of a PEASANT type. This they accomplish by playing Threlms from their hands or by robbing from their opponent. Additional card types and abilities on some of the Threlms can be utilized to disrupt your opponent's play whilst bolstering your own.
