About the game

What is Carnival of Sins?

Unleash your wild side in the heart of New Orleans, where masks hide the true intentions behind the city’s greatest sins. ’Carnival of Sins’, originally published by Tranjis Games, is a game of dice and deception, of temptation and fortune in which cunning and strategy are your best allies. The game lasts seven rounds, and at the start of each round the player holding the Devil card rolls the dice, then each player secretly chooses one of their seven sin cards to play. All cards are then revealed in order, triggering each sin’s effect to claim dice and rack up points — while messing with everyone else’s plans. After seven rounds, the player with the highest score earns the title of Carnival Monarch. Use your wit and trickery in this festival of temptation to prove you’re the biggest sinner in the city!
