A spectator is invited to put their finger through the hole in the case and the outjogged deck is plunged through their finger. This is mostly symbolic, though it can serve as a convenient indicator of the direction of the "line" of face-up Noble cards played on the game table representing condemned persons waiting to be beheaded.As an extra safety feature, the innovative blade cover moves with the self-sharpening cutting blade. As we mentioned at the beginning though, Guillotine could be played with a different theme in mind if you’d like to simplify it for younger kids.

This would make it a short-term strategic card that can still be useful, not ruin the game, and be close in play dynamics to several of the other cards, just a little more powerful.

The game takes place over 3 rounds or “days” with players going in turn by playing an Action card (optional) and then collecting a Noble card.

The raised card is now pushed down into the packet and apparently penetrates right through the finger.It would still be one of the most powerful and annoying action cards, but nerfed to be similar to several of the other action cards and Nobles. The first player can choose to play an Action card and then will collect the Noble at the front of the line and add it to their nobel score pile. It pivots to cover the blade as it rises and falls, so it is never exposed, offering ultimate safety. I opened the panel of my Zig Zag card and turned the card sideways, so the panel was pointing upward.
