Gameplay
Each turn, player draws a card and plays one of their two cards, faceup.
Then do what the card says:
- Guard: Choose one other player and guess their hand card. You cannot guess a guard. If you guess right, they discard and are out.
- Priest: Choose one other player and they will show you their card.
- Bishop: Choose one other player and secretly compare cards. Smaller card loses and is out.
- Handmaid: Play in front of you. You cannot be targeted by other players until your next turn.
- Prince: Choose a player (you or any other). They discard their card and draw a new one.
- King: Choose any other player. Switch cards with them.
- Countess: You must play this card if your other card is Prince or King.
- Princess: You cannot play this card. If it's discarded for any reason, you lose.
Last person standing on a round gets a point. Three points wins the game.
If there are more than one player left when deck runs out, compare cards. Highest wins.
