In Celtic legend, faefolk align themselves with courts of influence over the ancient lands. The Seelie are allies of spring and growth, while the Unseelie are those of cold and trickery. In Pacts, you rule one of these two courts, facing your eternal opponent in a duel of wits. Before starting, each player gains the assistance of mythological creatures such as dragons, banshees, and selkies.

Each round, cards are dealt where one player splits possible actions into two piles, and the other selects who gets which set. Players place, move, and remove influence across six regions, seeking majority control. The player with the best score after three and six rounds is declared the ruler of the great isle.

This is a two-player dueler focused on tactics and strategy, with mythological themes and competitive map control.
