How To Play:
each player will take on the role of one of these 7 characters, each player will receive
one card saying who they are. The players will move around the house by rolling dice and
moving the number of spaces they rolled. The players must work together to complete their
tasks; however each player must try and keep who they are secret because each player will also
receive a mysterious note saying the king will be murdered by one of the other guests. If one of
the guests thinks they know who the murderer is they must stand up and announce, “I suspect
thee of treason!” and the person they accuse will privately show them who they are. If they are
wrong, they must leave the party and are disqualified from the game. (Macbeth and Lady
Macbeth will know who each other are) If they are correct the game is over and king lives. Each
person will have their own objective to tent to the king in some way, but Macbeth and Lady
Macbeth will always have the same goal and must try to kill the king before the night is over.
