The Cask

Step into the world of Edgar Allan Poe with The Cask, a game for two players based on his famous story "The Cask of Amontillado". One player takes the role of Fortunato, who tries to escape from the cellar. The other plays Montresor, who is out for revenge. Who will come out on top? On your turn you play a card from your hand. You flip it over, carry out the action and then place it on your discard pile. As Fortunato you move across the board to collect the right items, while trying to avoid Montresor's bricks. Work fast, because before you know it you are walled in completely and there is no way out. The Cask is quick to explain and quick to play, which makes it perfect for an evening together at the table. The tension of the original story comes fully to life with every turn you take. It is also fun to play alongside reading the story itself.
