Gambit Royale—originally released as Ruse & Bruise—is a fast-paced, tactical card game in the spirit of Citadels. The kingdom is alive with magicians, dragons, kings, princesses, and scheming nobles, all eager to earn the greatest fame. Use clever timing and strategic card placement to outmaneuver your opponents, disrupt their plans, and claim glory for your royal household.
This 2018 edition includes five new cards not found in the original release, adding even more depth and replayability.
