Asmodee to Premiere Mascarade at Gen Con

Jun 25, 2013

Asmodee Editions will premiere their newest card game Mascarade at this year’s Gen Con. The game is designed for two to thirteen players ages ten and up. Mascarade is a game of bluffing as players take on the roles of an ever changing cast of characters. The Bruno Faidutti designed title will be available at Gen Con and appear on store shelves in September with an MSRP of $29.95.

From Asmodee:

When “unmasked”- who will you be?

Attend a Masquerade of the renaissance and try to discover the identity of your opponents. Who is telling the truth? Who is bluffing? Reveal the truth all while hiding your own true identity!

The goal of the game is for players to gain the most gold pieces that they will amass either by telling the truth, or alternatively, bluffing. Players each receive a Character card, that they will switch, or not, with their opponents throughout the game play. At each turn, players have the option to either announce who there are, and therefore are able to activate the power of that Character, as long as none of the other players challenge them; to secretly look at their card; or to swap their card with another player.

FEATURES
•A game of bluff and characters
•Options for 2 player and 3 player games.
•Scalability in game play.
