The Cask

Description

"The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge." Open The Cask to immerse yourself in the world of Edgar Allan Poe! Based on his classic suspense tale "The Cask of Amontillado", this two-player game allows you to step into the roles of Fortunato and Montresor as you work to escape the vault — or exact your revenge. On your turn, play one of the cards in your hand by revealing it, performing that card action, and placing it in your discard pile. The Fortunato player must move around the board to collect a combination of items while evading Montresor's brick tiles. To avoid the avenger's terrible plan, be sure to work quickly before Montresor can completely surround you! —description from the publisher
