By Order of the King
4–8 players · 20 min · 14+
By Order of the King is a fast-paced social deduction game of devious lies and hidden roles set in the gory gallows of a medieval kingdom. Take turns as the Executioner, deciding which of your friends will suffer brutal, historical executions while players lie, bluff, and bargain with you to save their lives or fulfill hidden agendas. Each execution brings greater reward—but choose the wrong player, and it may be your own head on the chopping block.
