The Beast has invited you to his castle for a Masquerade. When you enter, you are magically transformed into the identity of another character from The Grimm Forest! The Beast enjoys his antics!
Players will be outed if they are given 2 artifacts of their bane, but can win the magical masquerade if they are able to collect 3 artifacts of their favor.
The Beast loves to watch the characters try and oust each other. Each player will draw 2 artifacts, keeping one for themselves and giving 1 to any player at the ball. This reveals a lot of information on both players. Why did you keep that artifact? Oh excuse me Snow White, I see you have 2 mirrors does that oust you as the Evil Queen?
Turning in 2 Artifacts activates special actions as well, timing these well have great benefits!
Don’t worry if you are outed early, you take on the role of a Ghost, you get to guess what character you think will win the magical masquerade and if you are correct, you win along with them! You also take a turn handing out Artifacts to characters to try and sway the ball to your favor!
The first player to collect 3 Artifacts of Favor or to be the last player remaining will win. All other players will be given a token in their defeat. When someone has 3 tokens, that triggers the end of the masquerade and we see which player was the best!

3/4p social deduction traitor I heard? Edit played. Aside from two of the colors being bad for colorblind, the green and red, I think it wasnt bad. Did TTs so I think Id like it more in person, and like the fairy tale theme and character cards and art and variety of action cards changing things up alongside advanced variants which I didnt try but did do a full 4p game and thought decent deduction and fast play. 1 hour ish and easy to learn after beginning and most cards pretty clear, and variety from draws and take, bit of luck but also some mitigation and planning plus points are plentiful ish bnd balanced so you stay in contention ish motly even when out of round. 6.5 with colorblind issues but in. Personn would be better than tts plus can circumvent by putting tokens in corners so will give a 7 since thats the overall level it would prob be if I played in real life in person.

A fun “guess who I am” game. Same genre as dinosaur tea party, cluedo and such. I like the artwork and the small twists. Good to play with kids.

Fun game for families - very easy to pick up and learn and it doesn't take up a lot of time. The artwork is fantastic with the fairy tale theme.
