Product Description

Theme : Guillotine is a morbid card game set during the aftermath of the French Revolution. In Guillotine, you attempt to collect the most number and most important Noble heads.

Each turn, twelve new unlucky nobles are lined up, and action cards may be played to alter the order of the line so that you can collect the best nobles. Within three round, you must collect the most number of points, while making sure you do not behead the wrong individual. Highly irreverent and morbid, this humorous card game is fast to learn and just as fast to play. Heads are going to roll!

Gameplay : Guillotine is a fast playing card game of set collection and manipulation. The rules are extremely simple to learn and pick-up with each game only lasting 15-20 minutes on average.

Players begin with 5 action cards in their hand. Each day (there are three (3) days), twelve (12) nobles are laid out awaiting beheading. On their turn, players may play an action card and then draw a card to ensure they continue to have 5 cards in hand. They must then behead the noble first-in-line to the guillotine. Action cards allow players to change the order of nobles, to add or remove nobles or to provide additional bonus points (or subtract them from players)

Each noble has a different point value, with nobles in specific colours as well. Action cards are available that will provide them additional points at times for these noble houses, and as such, specific strategies on points do occur. Play for each day continues until no more nobles are available for beheading.

Overall, Guillotine is a humorous, card based game of set collection and manipulation of the deck that plays fast. A unique theme adds to the overall enjoyability of Guillotine.
