About Hierarchy
In the Kingdom of Darkhill, order and power mean everything. The royalty reign supreme, but alongside of their control are the plotting citizens, planning to get ahead using any means possible. Hierarchy is an abstract game of order and power where players each take a random set of 7 cards and play them openly, until they cannot play any more. Cards must be played atop a card of a lesser value, unless either the last card - or the currently played card change those rules. When the active player can no longer play a card, their opponent has won the game and has taken the seat of power away from their opponent. —description from the publisher Released in the January 2020 Board Game of the Month Club $20+ package.
