You are a priest of a troubled Temple. A Thieves Guild has emerged and is challenging your Temple for influence over the land. You must decide whether to work along with your brethren in the fight against the Thieves Guild or betray your brothers and guide the Thieves Guild to prominence.In Allegiance players use cards to adjust the influence of the Thieves Guild and Temple. At the end of the game the organization with the most influence emerges to prominence. Players begin with an allegiance to the Temple. However that allegiance can shift during the game as players accrue points that align them with either the Temple or the Thieves Guild. All players with allegiance to the Temple win if the Temple has the most influence. One player with allegiance to the Thieves Guild wins if the Thieves Guild has the most influence.
