Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung

Richard Wagners The Ring of the Nibelung is a card game for between 2 and 5 players where they take the role of great lords of the north trying to obtain the Ring of Alberich. But alas, the Ring comes with a terrible curse that destroys anyone who wears it for too long!

On your turn, take a character from Midgard (the main deck) or from your hand and then you put it in your Great Hall. A Great Hall can hold up to six characters. Heroes and villains can kill each other or even fall in love, greatly changing the appearance of the Great Halls. In addition, each character has a "Ring" value that allows him to take the powerful Ring from whoever is currently wearing it.

Having the ring allows you to take treasures. Treasure cards can give you victory points or, better yet, old artifacts with incredible powers. But beware!! If the curse affects you, you will lose a treasure and one of your own characters will die. However, you can give up the ring before this happens. At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points will be the winner.
