Off with Your Head!: A Game of Cards, Courts and Sudden Death (Board Games) (ISBN-13: 9780500421239)

In this two to five player game, each player is a powerful noble, defending their royals and trying to behead their opponents. Choose a royal family: the Tudors, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's, the Borgias, Ferdinand II of Aragon's, or the Habsburgs. On each turn, all players reveal a Royal Status card to score points for one of their royals. But beware of dangerous ambition--if another noble plays the same royal rank, the highest-scoring one among them loses their head.

If the fates are against a player, they might encounter the King's executioner, the Princess's herbalist, or the advisor's spy. If the fates smile on a player, they may escape with a royal guard or the Prince's jester. In this battle of wits, players secure the highest prestige for their court, while trying to sabotage their rivals. The game is highly illustrated with striking artwork by Eleni Kalorkoti and is packed with fun, historical detail, provided by historian Catherine Fletcher. Inside the compact and beautifully designed box, an accompanying booklet gives context and color to each royal character.
