Rat King

Description

In Rat King, you'll compete to dethrone or defend the tyrannical Rat King. All the while, you must either hide your identity as a Conspirator, sniff out schemes as a Loyalist, or execute suspicious players as the Rat King himself. The game centers on the Offering, a row of hidden cards placed over the course of a round. Loyalists must try to place Shields into the Offering, while Conspirators must sneak Blades. If the Offering is revealed and every Blade in the Offering is blocked by a Shield, the Loyalists and the Rat King win - otherwise, the Conspirators have achieved victory. Alongside Offering cards, use Action cards and Hand cards to gain information, get new cards, or even change your hidden role. —description from the publisher
