Carnival of Sins

Carnival of Sins: predict the cardinal sins of your opponents!

Carnival of Sins is a card-and-dice game set during a New Orleans carnival. You start with 7 cards representing the seven deadly sins — use them wisely to gain the upper hand! Play the right card at the right moment, read your opponents' intentions, disrupt their plans, and rise as the Monarch of the Carnival.

How to play Carnival of Sins?

A game of Carnival of Sins unfolds over 7 rounds, during which each player plays one of their 7 Sin cards. At the beginning of each round, you roll a set of role-playing dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20). Then, everyone secretly chooses one Sin card from their hand and places it face down. In turn order, the cards are revealed and their effects are resolved, with the goal of collecting dice to score points. Each Sin card has a different effect: take the highest die, take the die closest to you, copy the first player's gain, collect the leftover dice at the end of the round, and more. After 7 rounds, all cards have been played, and the player with the highest score wins the game.
