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!

This is a quick & light social deduction game without bluffing or lying, the need to act in any way, or any sort of "social" issues a scraggly bunch of introverts would have with a social deduction game. You can be extroverted, if you want to, but it's not a necessary part of the game to have fun. Positive points ++ A social deduction game without being put on the spot. Characters are diverse & art is lovely. Even when you're found out & are "out" of the game, you still take your turn, can get points, & can still win. Negative point -- The Gamebox is bloated & could be half the size. The insert makes you cram everything in, barely fitting the components.

* Owned by Jachin - got it for Christmas My sister really liked it. Pretty good game. Has a love letter feel to it.

As far as social deduction games go, this is fairly average. Limited actions feels stifling, easy to play though
