The Castle of the Devil

A storm-tossed carriage rushes toward a foreboding castle while players assume hidden roles in one of two secret associations. Each player also receives a secret profession and a hand of object cards; some objects are artifacts needed by an association to win while others grant special actions. Gameplay revolves around trading objects, spying to peek at opponents’ cards, and dueling to wrest cards from others. Trades can reveal affiliations, refusals give duel tokens, and duels resolve by secret team declarations with items, professions and tokens applied. Victory is claimed by correctly naming a team and the three artifacts held by its members; a mistaken claim costs the claimant the game.
