Fool of the Feast

The King is holding a great banquet and demands the kingdom’s best entertainment possible. Therefore he has invited all Troubadours and Fools around to audition their best show. The winner will become Fool of the Feast and well rewarded.

Fool of the Feast is a light pocket card game for 2 - 4 players where you try to put on the best show for the King. Only three cards are played in a game round, but with split cards and special actions there is a more complex strategy to explore.

The second time a players show gets the king’s favour - that player wins. A show consist of three rounds. Each round a card is played. First the entertainer presentation, then a fist act and lastly a second act. During the game the King reveal what he likes to see - and players now have to use the different card actions to make their show fit the Kings wishes.

The show with the most points total wins the king’s favor that round. The crown icons on a card is basic points you will score for act. So more crowns means a better act. This will be modified by what themes the king like and don't like. So if the king laughs at your rivals "juggling monk" - you might need to mess that show up.

The goal is to become the king’s fool - so basically everyone wins.

This game was originally a submission for the 18 card contest 2015. It was one the 18 finalists.
