There's a lot of back and forth you can do, to playing helpful/harmful spells on others, setting traps for them, or directly attacking them. There are a few cards too that act as sort of trade agreements (like one that gives you and the person you use the card on an additional gold at the start of each dawn) that stay in play so long as both of your characters are alive, both encouraging you to look out for one another and encouraging others to go after you. I've had games where players were mostly passive, trying to go through their quest lines and working towards individual win conditions without stepping too hard on other's toes (until the end), and I've played games where players were utterly ruthless to eachother, trapping them in, hunting them down, or crippling their hand. There's enough variety in cards to handle a lot of different playstyles.
