## Description
Ever felt that 'Braveheart' vibe, with cries of freedom and high political tension? That's exactly what you find in Swords and Bagpipes. The game places you in the middle of the First War of Scottish Independence, where you take on the role of a clan leader. The goal seems simple: fight against the invasion of King Edward I of England. But here is where it gets interesting: Scotland's victory depends on everyone uniting, but your bank account depends on your ability to be a traitor.

## FAQ
### Is the game complex to learn?
Not at all! The rules are simple and the 'choose a side' dynamic is intuitive, making it great for groups who don't want to read massive manuals.

### How long does a game last?
Quite fast, usually between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on how much time you spend arguing and trying to convince others not to betray.

### How many people can play?
From 2 to 6 players. The more people at the table, the more chaos and betrayals, which makes the experience much more fun.

### Do I need to know English to play?
Hardly. The game has very little text, and most of the experience happens through player interaction, so it's easy to adapt.

### What is the main goal?
To accumulate the most gold. But be careful: if Scotland is defeated, the winner becomes the player who betrayed the fewest times!
