About the game
What you do in a play session
Jesters is that tiny expansion that seems simple but shakes up (in a good way!) the base game of Skulls of Sedlec. With just one card, it introduces the titular jesters: when placing it in your ossuary, you can stack another card on top and then reposition the jester anywhere valid. It’s an extra layer of strategy in a game that’s already pure tactical puzzling. The 'Juggle' mechanic (yes, that’s the official name!) adds flexibility when building your skull sets but can also disrupt opponents’ plans. Perfect for those who want extra spice in their 20-minute quick plays.
