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!

A "bigger" role deduction game based on card play which is playable with a smaller player count where players try to unmask the other characters. # Family-game # More light clue-like deduction than social deduction

I didn't think it was that bad and I would definitely play again, but Kiera HATED it and will never play again. I did seem kinda of like there was a lack of control but I don't think it's 100% random.

A really great twist on hidden role games. There is way less pressure to lie in this game than say, the resistance. The focus is more about using your information to make deductions. I really recommend!
