The Cask
Work to either complete your revenge in time or escape a dreadful fate! In this two-player game based on Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale, one player controls Fortunato, moving around the board to collect a combination of items while evading brick tiles. The other controls Montresor, playing cards to carry out a terrible plan and surround his opponent. Each turn, reveal and resolve one card from hand, then place it in the discard pile.
