Description
The game's basic premise is simple: the duels of Hamlet have been invaded by characters from other stories, from history, and even some brand new characters!
There are no duplicate cards in Hamlet! All cards have different art and effects!
Begin the game by having each player choose a character, including Hamlet, Rosie the Riveter, the Tin Woodman, Sherloch Nessy, and Nikola Tesla!
Draw your hand, place some weapons down for attacking, and be ready to use some Action cards to mix up the action: increase a weapon's attack or blocking damage, cancel another action, force someone to wear a nun's habit, add some rules, or change a die roll!
When you attack, you use both the weapon and character numbers to determine which rolled numbers indicate a successful attack, but a successful attack may not matter, because your opponent can block!
Play your friends in a duel, team up, or have a free-for-all. Either way, you'll enjoy attacking your friends with such weapons as the Laser Sword, the Banana Snake, the Can-o-Mace, the Epic Flail, or the Top Hat of Doom! Deplete their health to zero and win the game!
Game can take 30-60 minutes for 2 players, or up to a few hours with 5 or 6 players. Reduce starting health amounts to play a quicker game!
