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 one is just unimaginably bad and way overproduced for what is a simplistic and lame child's game that even my kids didn't enjoy playing. Like all Druid City games, it's a gorgeous production, but the gameplay is simply lacking. It's as if someone with no real design or production talent got a windfall of funding to overproduce a game that was lacking in every other respect.

A surprise hit with the kids, who forced me to keep it! This is their favorite social deduction game.

Deduction game for a few player count! So quick to play, so easy to grasp! I would always be ready for a play on this one!
