GAMEPLAY

Course of a game round

Each round consists of two distinct phases. First, the players, in a clockwise direction and starting with the player who has the crown card, choose a character. Each player then takes his turn, in the order of the numbers of the characters.

1- Choice of characters

The eight character cards are shuffled, face down. Then a number of them are discarded, some of them face down, some of them face up, and will not be used this round. From the remaining cards, players can choose their character for this round.

The player who has the crown takes the remaining character cards, secretly chooses one and puts it face down in front of him. He then passes the deck of character cards to his left neighbour, who does the same, and so on. When the last player has taken one of the last two cards, he places the remaining card face down with the cards discarded at the beginning of the round.

* The King must not be among the cards discarded face up. If the King is drawn, it is immediately replaced by another card. There is no issue with the King being the card discarded face down.

** At 7 players, the last player, to the right of the King, receives only one character card. He then takes the card discarded by the first player, chooses one of the two cards and discards the other one face down.

2- Players’ turns

The player with the crown is responsible for calling the characters, in the order of their numbers. Each time a character is called, the player who had chosen it reveals his character card, takes his turn and puts his character card in the discard. If no one had chosen that character, the next character is
