What is The Golden Court?

The Golden Court is a game of palace intrigue and political power plays set in the medieval Chinese Tang Dynasty. Each player controls a separate faction composed of unique individuals across the distinct realms of the Imperial governance. Utilizing these assets, your faction will look to gain and secure power over the course of the Emperor’s reign, lest they be purged by another faction’s chosen successor, shunted from government by a regent, or even dispatched in a bloody coup. However, the empire itself is beset by crises, which if left unanswered will topple it. The political infighting can save or further endanger the empire, though there are many boons for those that can thread the needle. Victory will require selfless cooperation, ruthless competition, and the calculating opportunism to know when to switch.

The Golden Court is a game, a story, and an event.
