Off with His Head

A short game (15-40 minutes) for 2-6 players (and a 'dummy' King). Players each have a hand of three cards and are trying to get a specific set of cards into the King's 'hand' (which they cannot see) before the Guillotine comes down. Players play a card in front of another player (the 'Lobby', do the effects on the card, and then it becomes that players turn. A turn ends when all players have gone. Suitable for adolescents and adults, difficulty can be adjusted by using certain cards as the deck as each card has special effects on gameplay).
