Carnevale: Guild Civil War

The set up for the latest game of Carnevale: The game was a Guild civil war. The King Thieves has charged 'King for the Day' and his Pulcinella to pay the House of Virtue a visit and collect the outstanding taxes. He didn't want to go himself, so to distance himself from the events and not to slurry relations with the Madame.

The House of Virtue fought hard to defend their hard earned monies from "King or the Day" & his Pulcininellas tax collectors. Racing over roof tops to cut them off before they located the treasure. The King for the Day did a fantastic job smash and grab raid to secure the prize.

It was followed by a frantic battle to get the "King of Thieves" taxes back to him which ultimately cost him his life when the Madame caught up with him. Nevertheless, the ostrich rider was standing by to ride off with their prize. A great game with loads of laughs an a brilliant result for the Pulcininellas.

Bite Size Solo Game of Carnevale

Over the weekend I managed a quick solo game of Carnevale, a palette cleanser, if you will, to reminded myself of the rules in advance of inviting a friend for a game. The game introduced my recently painted House of Virtue starter gang to the Strigoi.

In the opening exchanges both the Madame & the Dancer proved their credentials as pistol packing, stiletto welding assassins respectively. They made short work of a Reaper & a Newborn Strigoi, in a couple of rounds. They were successful in their initiative and rolled exceptionally well during combat.

Just before the Noble Strigoi could get involved time ran out and I was called away.

Nevertheless, it set up a great scenario for a follow up game where the Madame & the Dancer have to negotiate their way back to their home as a gang of Strigoi hunt them down.
