Ranked #99 in Toys & Games · 4 things we like

The Guillotine game is the revolutionary card game where players can win by getting a head! To play, line up noble cards and take turns "operating" the guillotine. Players strategically use action cards to manipulate the line and make sure the most notorious noble card -- that is, the noble worth the most points -- is at the front so they can take it.

After 3 rounds, the player with the most valuable collection of noble heads wins! This family card game can be played in about 20 minutes, so it's one of the best card games for fast fun anytime. Enjoy it as a 2 player game or with up to 5 people.

Party card games also make excellent travel games for teens, adults, and kids ages 12+. GUILLOTINE, AVALON HILL, and HASBRO GAMES and all related trademarks and logos are trademarks of Hasbro, Inc.

    En Anglais

    Dommage, malgré le "français" à côté du titre, le jeu est en anglais. Reste à tester!

    Great, fun game with minor issues

    As a boardgamer, I was actually surprised to never have come across this game. It’s a remake of the 1998 game apparently.Straight from the top: The Bishop is misprinted resp. the graphic designer has messed up the bleed and that has been printed.Now, the quality of the game (the physical parts) is very good, though having to disassemble the Guillotine every time will make it not last long. Additionally, it’s just a nice gimmick and doesn’t do anything for the game mechanics actually.The instructions are great, with frazzled edges like an old scripture roll.The outer box is VERY sturdy - it’s m
