Overview

Game description from the publisher: In Shadow Games, you must gather enough favours to secure the new star player for your guild. Players use various Plot and Agent cards to bribe, steal, and earn favour, but it is not enough to simply play the cards you receive. Fortune favours the bluffers! Play a card from your hand, and call it anything you want. If you convince your opponents of your lies, you will not only reap the rewards of the card you pretended to have but also gain a powerful bluff bonus that will accelerate your victory. Just don’t get caught— it will cost you valuable favours to save face. Set in Guild Ball's devious, backstabbing Empire of the Free Cities, Shadow Games is a fast paced game for 2-6 cunning players. Shadow Games will appeal to all Guild Ball players and any fans of compact, quick-paced card games that involve betraying your friends! Easy to learn and addictive, it's fun for all the family and fast—one game only takes about 15 minutes!
