“Become the head of a Great House of Luthadel in this game of negotiation and betrayal, set in the world of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn novels. Contend with myriad problems plaguing the Final Empire — rampaging koloss, disease, social unrest, even the heroes of the novels — and with every step jockey for the Lord Ruler's favor. At the end of the story will you rise to power and prestige, or fall in ruin and disgrace?”

Development
Crafty Games announced development of a Mistborn-themed board game on March 22, 2015.[3] Brandon, not being an extensive board gamer required them to bring in with a "proven track record" in the industry as he could not himself do quality control in the same way he could with the Mistborn Adventure Game.[4]
