Death at Samarra
2–2 players · 3 min
In Death at Samarra, you must protect your Servant while stalking your opponent's pieces. But which piece is his Servant, and which is Death? Your Merchant can reveal another piece's identity, but in doing so, unmasks himself.
This two-player game of bluffing and hidden strategy plays quickly, but uniquely each time. How well can you outguess the person across the table?
