In Guillotine, players compete as rival executioners during the French Revolution, racing to claim prestige by collecting the most valuable nobles as they are marched to the guillotine. Each turn, a row of noble cards is lined up for execution, and players take turns grabbing one to add to their score pile.

But this grim procession is filled with surprises — action cards can swap positions, protect certain nobles, or alter the lineup entirely. Strategic timing matters, as snatching the highest-value targets can be tricky when others play tricks to disrupt your plans.

Fast, simple, and full of back-and-forth antics, Guillotine is a light card game that blends darkly humorous theme with quick decision-making, perfect for casual game nights with friends and family.
