Disgraced House - Board Game Review - Suitless Trick-Taking

About Disgraced House, from BoardGameGeek:

Can you restore peace to the land and rise as the new emperor? In this suitless trick-taking game, 2-6 players will lead their clans of samurai cats into battles and negotiations, building their political influence in premodern Japan. Players will send their envoys into each encounter and can call on fate to transform them into alternate ranks. Although it is a time of warring factions, each season ends with a peace treaty where players must follow a strict etiquette to avoid bringing disgrace upon their house. -description from the publisher
