Description
Get ready for a bloody good time with Guillotine, a light card game set during the French Revolution. Players take on the role of executioners, competing to behead the most popular nobles and win the favor of the masses. The game is simple to learn, with easy-to-explain rules that get you started quickly, and plays out over just 30 minutes. Each day, nobles are lined up for execution, and players take turns manipulating the line to get to the most desirable targets. With the right cards, you can change the order of the line and snatch the best nobles for yourself. After three days of chopping, the player with the highest total wins. With its unique blend of hand management, card drafting, and take-that mechanics, Guillotine is a hilarious and irreverent game that's perfect for 2 to 5 players looking for a fun and lighthearted experience.
