Description

In the world of Indulgence, players take on the role of rising families in the Italian Renaissance, conspiring and plotting to seize control. This trick-taking game for 3-4 players is all about making strategic decisions and outsmarting your opponents. On each turn, a player chooses an edict that sets the rule for the hand, and the others must decide whether to follow it or commit a sin by doing the opposite. By committing a sin, a player can earn an indulgence token, which can turn one of their cards into a winning hand. The goal is to trick your opponents into sinning without getting the indulgence, while avoiding sin yourself. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 40-60 minutes, Indulgence is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for a group of friends or family.
