The Social Deduction Space Opera

4-8 Players  |  20-60 Mins  |  Ages 14+

Captain's Gambit sets the stage for a game night to remember.

To win complete the hidden objective of your Shakespeare-inspired character: for example Lady Macbeth must bloody her hands and ascend to the throne while Hamlet must assassinate a specific player. But it's not easy to complete your goal without tipping your hand and getting murdered yourself! Luckily since many roles can share victory you can form temporary or lasting alliances to win together... unless your ally lied about their identity and backstabs you instead! Perhaps you'll instead attack players to limit their odds of victory while advancing your own... but does that blood on your hands mark you for death if the vindictive Portia or jealous Iago come looking to collect?

This high-tension space opera combines hidden roles with bluffable actions allowing you to build multiple layers of deceit or honesty. But unlike social deduction games that only reward lies this game allows you to win through a range of skills like strategic planning honest negotiations or opportunistic gambits. Captain's Gambit guarantees that your table will recount the struggles and triumphs of each game long after it's put away.
