Is there a game where I can play a Princess, Lord, or other high society type and the goal is to make political moves like marriage, war, or assassination?

You can do that in practically any game as long as you have the GM for it.
>>47041064
Long Live The Queen
>>47041064
Birthright and Reign
but basically this >>47041088
>>47041064
Birthright
or if you love being a DM and hate players...House of the Bloodied

Pretty much. To add to the comment, that particular GM does not need to be brilliant, as a GM, at all.
>>47041064
Isn't the Song of Ice and Fire RPG essentially designed for stuff like this? Check out one of the House quests in the archive, there should be links to PDFs and you don't have to use the setting.

Crusader Kings 2.
No, seriously.
GURPS

That's not what I said

Princess Pillowfighter when taken slightly more serious.
But honestly, ANY game will do with semi-competent GM
>You can do that in practically any game as long as you have the GM for it.
Practically, yes, but some games have actual mechanics for politics and realm management.
Hillfolk/DramaSystem is one such game, as is Reign.
You could also look at the Kingmaker adventure path for Pathfinder.

there are two issues with this setup:
firstly, you need players who are willing and able to push the plot themselves, rather then simply following the setup.
Secondly you need a gm who can work with such players...
Ok and thirdly you need there to be a reason for a party to exist, and that one can be surprisingly tricky. Either way it exactly the kind of game I'd long to run/play.

Meikyuu Kingdom is basically all about that.
Kingdom (that's the title) is suited for it as well.

Please stop.
There's an A song of ice and fire rpg.
>>47041520
It can be a competitive game, in fact I'd prefer it
>>47041541
>Please stop.
When d20 games are no longer being actively played, I'll consider it.
Until then, you might want to manage your stress.

as long as everyone would understand thats what it is and are ok with the plausible consequences and some gentlemans agreements (like not stabbing/diplomancing each other out of hand) that could indeed work.

Ryuutama has a noble class, but it's up to the GM what the extent of that means.
>>47041185
Apparently yes but I have never tried it.
>>47041192
OP didn't mention cuckoldry or eldritch horrors.

playing as female is easy mode

This is one of the few good answers. The 3e material for it is all online and mostly complete, and has been playtested obsessively.
It's one of the 2E settings with the most ridiculous amounts of fan support because some of the old PBEMs are still running since the 90s. It only really declined around mid 4e.
The original 2E books were also gorgeous.

Burning Wheel can do this pretty well.
