About the game

What is Emblems?

Emblems is a card game that blends strategic thinking, opportunistic placement and sneaky moves! At the start of each turn, choose a card, taking into account its value and effect, before placing it face down in front of you. Then, one after another, reveal your card and place it in one of the three locations: the Castle, the Village or the Port. At the end of each round, gold coins are awarded to the players whose cards have the highest value in each location. Simple and surprising, with just the right amount of chaos, Emblems often favors the cleverest (or boldest) players! —description from the publisher
