The French Revolution is famous in part for the use of the guillotine to put nobles to death, and this is the macabre subject of this light card game. As executioners pandering to the masses, the players are trying to behead the least popular nobles. Each day the nobles are lined up and players take turns killing the ones at the front of the line until all the nobles are gone. However, players are given cards which will manipulate the line order right before 'harvesting,' which is what makes the game interesting. After three days worth of chopping, the highest total carries the day.
This game was very easy, and lots of people can play. Doesn't take too long and much more enjoyable than the tired old card games! Not much strategy here, a lot if randomness, but that levels the field a bit for beginners. Just fun and amusing
A light and fun card game that is very unique in my collection. Really glad that I own it and will never part with it.
A great filler when in between games. Easy to setup and easy to learn.
This game is really easy to learn and quite entertaining. If you find the idea of people being beheaded really unpleasant, this might not be for you. But you can also mostly ignore the theme and just enjoy the cards. The action cards are wonderfully chaotic, and the cards with the "nobles" have a lot of appeal. Everything has good cartoon-ish art. This is really a lot of fun for a simple game that takes a minute to learn, at most.
Really fun and easy to teach beginners and casual gamers. It is also perfect for playing before or in between more lengthy and complicated games. An "appetizer" game.
