City of Schemes is a one-player board game where you play as a conniving noble trying to claim control of a medieval city.

You have seven days and seven nights to try and max out either your Popular Support, Noble Support, or Military Support and seize the throne, after which your window of opportunity closes. 

But there are many ways that your schemes could come to ruin... If any of your Popular Support, Noble Support, or Military Support start the day at -20, you lose! Similarly, if your Suspicion ever reaches 100 you lose as the king's Inquisitor manages to catch you!

Each day and each night you can select an action to take from around the areas of the city using your mouse, which will raise one resource and lower some others. Some actions require you to spend either Gold or Energy, and you can only take those actions if you have enough of those resources.

Finally, at the start of each day you'll receive a random event. These can be either good or bad, and you'll need to adapt your strategy to what luck has in store for you!
