Gray Eminence

In Gray Eminence YOU are the power behind the throne. The world is your chessboard. Gone are the days when all you needed to do was to whisper in the ears of rulers. Now you need to control social media, influence the big corporations and draw together the disparate factions across countries and continents. All while remaining hidden from the public eye. Deals are made in the shadows amid a sea of betrayal and manipulation. The prize is bigger now: more power, money and influence than ever before - if you have the ingenuity to establish your supremacy- Gray Eminence is a game of political intrigue, deception and amorality as you strive to control the destiny of the world.



Read me before playing:

Hi!

In the interest of convenience, we have made a few changes to the components of Gray Eminence in this Tabletopia implementation of the game. These include e.g. bags with bricks next to them for color-coding, the use of 'hand' to replace Gray Eminence's neat little storage boxes, and the huge magnetic playing surface.

Alas, not even being creative was enough to implement a jank-free solution to every issue, and one of them is the concept of 'secret bidding'. For this, You shall need to call for the good-ol' boardgamer trust and follow this sequence:

1. Everybody turns their view downwards and zooms into their personal board. (protip: use Shift+[number] to save a camera location and then press [number] to load the location.)

2. Everybody places their bid on the table and then declares that they are done.

3. Everybody looks up, no changing bids after this.



Cheers for checking out Gray Eminence, and have fun with tampering with the international politics!
