Royal Council

When a Royal Council takes place, a choice of one of three royal decrees will be given. Royal decrees are permanent bonuses that last for the rest of the run. Most royal decrees can appear multiple times and if picked multiple times the effects will stack.

There are 15 common royal decrees and 5 specific to each king. At least one of the choices offered each time will always be one specific to the king but reroll choices are random.

Royal Councils occur 4 times during a run, on years 4, 14, 21, and 29. If the run continues after victory, Royal Councils occur on year 37 and every 11 years subsequently. Additional Royal Council events can be triggered by the Razing special card.
