Description
Swords and Bagpipes is a game of medieval politics and betrayal, set during the First War of Scottish Independence. Players take on the roles of Scottish clan leaders, hiring troops and sending them to battle against the invading English army. However, each player must secretly decide whether to support Scotland or England, and the choice to betray can be tempting, as it often brings more gold. In this game of bluffing and strategy, the richest player typically wins, but if England conquers Scotland, loyalty becomes the key to victory. With its unique blend of betting, bluffing, and simultaneous action selection, Swords and Bagpipes is a thrilling experience for 2 to 6 players. The game is easy to learn and can be played in 20 to 45 minutes, making it a great choice for a fun and engaging game night.
