Read the full game description
Carnival of Sins is a quick game of simultaneous card choice, unusual dice, and mischievous timing. At the start of each of seven rounds, the Devil rolls six different black polyhedral dice and one white die into the center of the table. Every player secretly selects one of the seven Sin cards in their identical hand, then the chosen cards resolve in a fixed order. Greed wants matching values, Gluttony reaches for the highest die, Lust steals an odd and an even die, Wrath rerolls a die and may physically disturb others, while Pride waits to collect what remains. Each Sin can be played only once, so every round narrows the options and makes opponents easier—and more dangerous—to read.
