GUILLOTINE
The revolutionary card game
where you win by getting a head.
For two to five players
Components
a 50-card NOBLE deck and a 60-card
ACTION deck.
Object
Collect the most points by beheading
important nobles.
Overview
Play is divided into three “days”. On each
day, 12 nobles are lined up to await their
turns at the guillotine. Players take turns
playing action cards from their hands
(possibly rearranging the order of the line)
and then collecting nobles from the front of
the line. At the end of the third day,
whoever has the most points wins.
Setup
Shuffle the two decks separately and deal 5
action cards to each player. Leave space for
a discard pile next to each of the two decks.
Play
At the beginning of the first day, have
someone to take the top 12 noble cards
from the noble deck and place them face-
up in a line from left to right. The right end
of the line is the guillotine where nobles
will be beheaded (collected). Randomly
choose someone to go first. That player's
turn proceeds as follows:
Play an action card (optional)
Action cards allow you to move nobles
forward and backward in line, draw extra

cards, add or remove nobles from line, get
extra points, and so on.
Collect the first noble in line
Nobles are worth varying points depending
on their notoriety. When you collect a
noble card place it face-up in front of you to
make a score pile. All collected noble cards
are left face-up on the table at all times.
Draw an action card (whether
or not you played one)
Continuation of play
The next player to the left takes a turn using
the same sequence, playing an action card
if he wishes, collecting the first noble in
line, and drawing an action card.
Play continues in this manner until there
are no nobles left in line at the start of
someone's turn. That day is then over and a
new day begins. Deal out 12 new noble
cards from the noble deck.
GUILLOTINE
All players keep their remaining action
cards in their hands and any noble cards
they've collected in their respective score
piles. The player to the left of the person
who started the previous day is the first
player for the first player for the new day.
Other players are allowed to check out the
nobles you've collected to find out how
many points you've scored. When the third
day is over, each player counts up the
points on his noble cards and any action
cards that might add to or subtract from
the point total. Whoever has the most
points wins!
Vive le révolution!
