After the death of the King, the Royal Court has turned against you, the rightful heir! Your life and the lives of your younger brothers and sisters are all in danger. The Courtiers have arrived, daggers drawn, in the dead of night: a coup! The Royal Court has many strict rules and procedures, even in the event of a bloody overthrowing. In order to save your family, you must play a series of card games against those traitorous Courtiers. Each turn you take, the courtiers take one step closer to their targets; the bedrooms of your sleeping siblings. Your only ally is a magpie. The friendly bird will be only too happy to sell you stronger cards with which you can turn the tide against the Courtiers, in exchange for something shiny, of course. Hand of Daggers is a roguelike deckbuilding game... and your family is running out of time.
