The Kingdom is in turmoil and two princesses, both with a claim to the throne, have fled into hiding in the castle dungeon. As commander of the watch you must try to secure your lady’s escape while preventing her rival from leaving the dungeon….But you must also contend with the guards who would rather keep your lady imprisoned.
Four Guard Monte is a fast paced 2-player game of bluff, deduction and deception.
Ideal as a ‘filler game’; played over a series of short rounds, each lasting from 5-10 minutes.
Each round uses just 9 of the 54 cards available offering many different strategic options and high replayability. While the only random element is the choice of 9 cards drawn, the order in which players take the specified actions can dramatically affect gameplay. Even with the same cards, no two rounds will play out the same.
