Law of the Jungle

Description

Deep in the heart of the jungle lies a kingdom ruled by a cunning lion king. The carnivorous citizens are fed up with his tyrannical rule. Sensing the growing unrest, the king plots to embezzle the meat from the royal treasury and flee the country...but the subordinates won't stand by quietly. Some plan rebellion, others aim to assassinate the king, and a few pretend loyalty in hopes of a handsome reward. Law of the Jungle is an asymmetrical bluffing and deduction game in which one player becomes the king and the others act as subordinates. The game lasts five rounds. The king's goal is to survive and ultimately escape with all the meat in the treasury. The subordinates use cards like "Assassination", "Rebellion", "Guard", and "Labor" to co operate — or betray — one another and gain the upper hand. Will you outwit your rivals and escape with the loot, or seize the throne for yourself? In this game of strategy and deception, the one who ends up with the most meat claims victory.
