What is Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

A real time social deduction game for 4 - 8 players that last 10 minutes.

Players take on a hidden role at the beginning of the game: either as one of the plotters who seek to blow up the houses of parliament, or as a secret agent, working against them from the shadows in this fast paced game of subterfuge.

At the beginning of the game, one bomb card is drawn and placed face up per player. These cards will have a list of components that must be attached to that card in order to prime the bomb.

For the plotters, the primary focus is to draw and play cards from the component deck, matching the symbols on the bomb cards. These are played face down, and once four have been placed, these cards are shuffled and revealed. If even one component doesn't match then those components are discarded and the bomb resets.
