Der Herr der Wichtel

In Der Herr der Wichtel, the leprechauns in the deep forest no longer have a ruler, so 2-5 candidates have stepped up to try to become the new Lord of the Leprechauns. To do this, they gather a following of up to four leprechauns around them whose job it is to increase their prestige. They hire Leprechauns from the village square, exchange henchmen with their competitors, and call completely new friends from the drawing stack. —description from the publisher
