Who it's for

Ideal for groups who enjoy light bluffing and hidden-choice games with a mischievous theme.

Not for you if…

Avoid it if you dislike games where a well-laid plan can get wrecked by someone else's simultaneous reveal, the swings are part of the design.

🦊

Vibe's take

Sly and unpredictable, driven by simultaneous reveals, the fun is in guessing what everyone else is about to do to you.

About this game

Carnival of Sins drops players into a masked New Orleans festival where everyone secretly picks a sin card each round and hopes it pays off when the masks come off. Over seven rounds, dice get claimed and plans get sabotaged as the group jostles for the title of Carnival Monarch.
