Description
In Masque of the Red Death, you and up to six friends navigate a mysterious and deadly masquerade ball, all vying for the Prince's favor. As the night wears on and the clock strikes midnight, the atmosphere shifts from one of gossip and social climbing to desperate survival. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale, this game challenges you to balance your actions between impressing the Prince and uncovering the secrets of the Red Death's impending visits. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, Masque of the Red Death is a thrilling experience that combines social deduction, hand management, and strategic thinking. As you take on the roles of nobles at the ball, you'll need to use your wits to stay one step ahead of the Red Death and emerge with the highest social standing - if you can survive the night.
