The Cask Boardgame *English Version*

Description

“The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.”

Immerse yourself in the world of Edgar Allan Poe! Based on his classic suspense tale “The Cask of Amontillado,” this two-player game allows you to step into the roles of Fortunato and Montresor as you work to escape the vault — or exact your revenge.

On your turn, play one of the cards in your hand by revealing it, performing that card action, and placing it in your discard pile. The Fortunato player must move around the board to collect a combination of items while evading Montresor’s brick tiles. Make sure to work quickly before the Montresor player can completely surround you and avoid the avenger’s terrible plan!
