If you like fun card games with a sense of humor, cards-with-words and collecting points to win...
Guillotine —
Designed by Paul Peterson, published by several companies including Hasbro, with wonderful art by Quinton Hoover and Mike Raabe.
For 2 to 5 players ages 10 and up. Plays in about 30 minutes.
The theme of this game is a little grotesque, but the light-hearted illustrations and spirited game ply make it a family favorite. Collecting the heads of the French aristocracy, each worth points, the game is played in three rounds (three "days"). The play of action cards, carefully timed, can improve your score and hinder the other players. A fast and clever card game, fun for just about any occasion (if you're not disturbed by the theme). Highy recommended!
