Shakespeare: The Card Game

Angol leírás

Shakespeare: The Card Game is a 2 player card game in which players use characters from Shakespeare’s plays to race to one of three possible win conditions: Comedy, Tragedy, or History. Each turn the lead player drafts one row of three cards keeping two and passing one, then their opponents has the chance to play first. Tragedy cards all have triggers that will cause them to die; if you kill four of your tragic characters first you win. History cards are played to one of the five countries to try to take political control; if you control 4 countries at once you win. Comedy cards come in two types: some will help or hinder the efforts of the players, while others are lovers looking to be couples up; if you pair 4 couples you win.

The game is designed with theme first, so expect: Iago dies if there are too many relationships successfully beware the green-eyed monster, Puck makes fools of the mortals by coupling up random pairs, and Caesar gets backstabbed if he grows too powerful. However, you don’t need to know the plays to enjoy the game.
