About the game

What you do in a play session

In 'The Grimm Masquerade', you are invited to a masquerade ball at the Beast's castle, where you are magically transformed into a character from the Grimm Forest. The goal is to collect three artifacts in your favor or be the last player standing. Each player receives two artifacts, keeps one for themselves, and gives the other to any player, revealing valuable information about both. If you receive two artifacts of your bane, you are exposed and become a ghost, but you can still influence the game and win if you guess the winner correctly. The Beast loves watching players unmask each other and use their special abilities to win. With mechanics of deduction, hidden roles, and set collection, 'The Grimm Masquerade' is a game full of intrigue and strategy that keeps everyone engaged until the end.
