Hidden Leaders: Duel

As the fighting and turmoil subsides, the two remaining candidates vie for control of the newly established Senate Chambers and attempt to secure the power to rule Oshra peacefully. They do so by offering influential Heroes a position in their secret Council of Leaders. Whoever builds the strongest influence, will win.

Setup

1. Shuffle the Hero and Leader cards
