The Tragedy of Othello
A tragic and treacherous card game based on the play by William Shakespeare. No Shakespeare knowledge needed to play and have fun!
Exciting Game Play!
You and your opponents are actors auditioning for the lead role of the villainous Iago, trying to impress the casting director with your ability to embody Iago's treachery and deceit!
Set the Stage
See which player starts with Iago, read the play and Act I synopses, place the actors on the stage, deal out the cards, and begin Act I!
Gain points as you advance Shakespeare's script
And play staging cards, intrigue and spotlight tokens, and character coins to disrupt the play of your rivals!
Kill characters / Revive them
Wound characters in the cast, kill them off, and revive them later for points!
Starting in Act III, take the handkerchief
And hold onto it - it's worth 3 points!
Tally up the final score
The actor who accumulates the most points steals the spotlight, lands the role of Iago, and wins the game!
