How to play Guillotine

Guillotine is a light card game for 2 to 5 players that takes 30 minutes. On your turn, you use cards to rearrange a line of nobles, then claim one and collect sets for points while disrupting other players’ plans. It feels cheeky and competitive, and suits groups who want simple hand management and a bit of direct interference.
