"Mascarade" is a card game of bluffing and intrigue designed for 2 to 13 players, where participants assume the roles of various characters with special abilities, hidden behind masks during a masquerade ball. The goal of the game is to amass wealth and outwit your opponents. Each player starts with a character card face up, which is then flipped face down, leading to a game where players must remember the identities of their own and others' characters. Throughout the game, players can announce any character's power to use its ability, but they risk being challenged by others if their claim is false. Strategic guessing, memory, and deception are key components as players attempt to accumulate a certain amount of gold to win. The game is known for its fast-paced play and the humorous situations that arise from players' mistaken identities and bold bluffs. A typical game lasts about 30 minutes, making it a quick and entertaining option for groups looking for engaging social gameplay.
