Gormenghast: The Board Game

Set in a vast, decaying castle filled with rituals, intrigues, morbid humour, and eccentric inhabitants, each player takes the role of a kitchen rat seeking power. Players move characters around the castle and use Action Cards to complete the schemes shown on Plot Cards. Successful plots provide Victory Tokens, while Artefacts, Influence Tokens, and the ritual die support the struggle for control. The first player to collect nine or more Victory Tokens becomes Master of Ritual.
