📖 About This Game
Shakespeare’s First Folio has players taking the role of printers in the early Seventeenth Century competing to print the first folio of Shakespeare’s plays.
The deck of Plays is made up of three different suits - Comedies, Histories and Tragedies - and each Play corresponds to its suit and the order it was printed in Shakespeare's First Folio. The deck of Personages includes historical personages who can assist in your efforts.
A game ends immediately when the last Play is taken by a player. The most points wins and will print Shakespeare's First Folio!
