About the game
Underhand of the Emperor contains 78 new cards (three copies of 25 different cards and 1 copy of each of 3 different cards). Underhand of the Empire expands on classic themes of the Scorpion, giving them new deck building options that encourages them to toe the line between dishonor and defeat. Look for a new Role card, a Philosophy that prevents you from losing the game, and an army of whispers, standing at attention. —description from the publisher
