We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location, but are usually 2-3 days within the UK.

How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
How many people can play?
The game works best with 3-6 players but can be played with 2. You will just lose some of the deal making elements of the game.
What is the age range?
The game features scandals which have been reported in the media and makes references to shady business deals such as drug dealing. For this reason we would recommend a minimum age of 13. You can easily remove the more scandalous Skeletons and Favours for a younger audience and it shouldn’t impact gameplay.
How long does a game take?
If you play with 3 players, a game should last between 45mins to 1 hour depending on whether you have played before. If you play with 6 players a game should last between 1.5-2 hours. Your first game may take longer.
