Welcome to SFoL - Triple Threat: Hand of Byzantium!
Hosted by Alice
In a far away land, a magnanimous empire rules fairly over its land. However, familiar threats seem to be looming on the horizon…
Welcome to Triple Threat: Hand of Byzantium. This SFoL takes up a mixture of Moleland’s Triple Threat Setup while also utilizing the Hand of Byzantium Class cards in order to spice things up, this in short is a HoB game that has a multiball setup. The setup here is simple. The uninformed majority needs to find and execute both the Cult and the Unseen. The only difference here is that the uninformed majority is a different faction than the Blue Dragon, and both scum factions are present rather than a single one. The King is also replaced with an Emperor that is more social and active than the classic King.
