The platter with the most points at the end of the game wins. Will you be skillful enough to bribe the guards to collect Marie Antoinette? Or will you lose points for beheading the Hero of the People? Heads are going to roll. From the Manufacturer This irreverent and humorous card game takes place during the French Revolution.

Will you be skillful enough to bribe the guards and collect Marie Antoinette? Or will you lose points for beheading the Hero of the People.

Review: A line of cards where you get the 1st one, but you can play action cards to modify it, fun to play! - Pros - Easy to learn and teach. - Fast to setup and play (less than 30 minutes). - Small table space is enough to play. - Replayable because of the variety in the order of point cards (nobles) as well as action cards that appear from game to game. Some point cards even have effects does affecting the gameplay. Action cards also changes the game in a way thus making each game unique. - Not multiplayer solitaire. Since there is an ordered line of cards which will be get by each player on their turn, all players want the best card from the same line of cards, creating a competition on that by playing action cards that could change that line on their turn. Most action cards also affects other players directly in other ways. - Very fun to play! The effects of the action cards are very fun to plan around and execute. Getting a point card (noble) is exciting as you collect sets of cards that you need to score more. Neutral - Especially nowadays in the connected world, and a softer world, where everyone has a negative comment, the theme might be seen as a negative. I don't mind it because during the game, while it is thematic, it doesn't feel like you're "killing" someone, it just feels like you're "collecting" a card. This is because of the simplicity of the game which makes it feel very light. - No tiebreaker. On my first game as a 2-player game, we both scored 45 points! I don't mind it, I actually prefer no tiebreaker in games because if both of you scored the same number of points, then no one can actually brag about it as it's the same number of points regardless of what tiebreaker rules are there :) Cons - In my collection, including those that I already sold, I had a total of around 67 board game boxes. Want to know what's the most useless one? This Guillotine's box! To emphasize, the art is good, the box itself looks nice, but it's useless. It isn't the usual "open the lid" type of box but rather like the cereal boxes. For you to insert the cards, you have to trust gravity to not scatter them upon landing at the bottom of the box. That isn't even the worst part! If you sleeved your cards, then just burn the box because it wouldn't fit any (since there is also the cardboard for the executioner inside the box). I just put my cards separately in a paper bag. - The additional executioner cardboard could have been just the box itself! If you already saw how Tiny Epic games do it, they maximize the usage of even the boxes themselves. I don't mind additional components if there is enough space in the box, but if the box itself is already trash, then that is where I have a problem. They could have even just designed an insert that also converts to the executioner, instead of a totally separate executioner in a useless thin box.
Review: Fun and easy.. Love this game - A quick and easy card game based on the french revolution with lots of re-playability. The game has a variety and ways you can earn points from cards or "nobles" as well as action cards in your hand. Many of the cards change the gameplay making each game unique and fresh. For best game play, you should understand basic strategy but it can get quite involved with some creative thinking. The scoring system is easy to understand. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. Games are quick about 30 minutes on the average. I often buy this game as gifts for friends. This last purchase was a gift for a birthday. Fun, easy and family fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Learn, Simple to Play, Cinch to Carry, but Loads of Fun
*by G***P on October 6, 2016*

This is a fun, very easy to learn, portable and quickly played game that still manages to have a bit of strategy involved. It requires only about 2-3' of narrow playing area and apart from the cardboard Guillotine, the whole game boils down to a stack of cards about the size of two standard playing card decks. Explaining the rules will take two minutes, tops, and kids as young as 7 can grasp the concepts. It also teaches counting. Basically, play proceeds in 3 rounds which represent 1 day. On each day you line up 12 nobles to be Guillotined, each of worth is worth a certain number of points ranging from -3 to +5. You are forced to take the noble at the front of the line, but you are given action cards you can play first which allow you to manipulate the line to some extent, taking the better nobles and leaving the worse for your opponent. Action cards can also do things like give you bonuses for certain noble types, force people to give up/exchange action cards and nobles, give opponents penalties to their score, etc. At the end of the 3 days, the player with the most points wins. Among other things, strategy is involved when: *You have to decide whether denying a great noble for your opponent is more important than gaining a good noble for you *Certain nobles increase in points when paired, tripled, or quadupled *Do you manipulate the line NOW, or wait until later for greater benefit *You have to decide is more likely to beat you and work to wreck their noble acquisition For example, Grey nobles are worth negative points, and you always try to avoid them and force opponents to take them. However, there is an action card, when played, which turns all your grey nobles into +1 cards. If held until the right time, other players may ignore you until you suddenly play it an jump forward in points. Granted, the game is not all strategy; there is a certain amount of luck. A game can turn on a particular card play, but even then one has to decide when the best time is to play that card; if you wait to long you can lose it OR the situation can change, making it worth less or even worthless! This is a really fun, simple game which is more than worth the price.
