Description

Legend tells of a game dating even before King Arthur’s time—one played in hushed whispers by thieves and rapscallions crouching in back alleys under the flickering light of a single torch. Over time, as peasants and field laborers began to take interest, the game shed its disreputable image and was eventually favored by members of the royal court.
Now you too can play it with good-natured friends and family in the comfort of your own home. You won’t even have to worry about getting knifed and thrown in the river—hopefully.

Tooth & Talon is a Rock-Paper-Scissors inspired game played with cards and can be played by 2-5 players in 20-40 minutes.

All players have a hand of six cards with different available actions (two Rats, one Snake, one Hawk, one Fox, and one Net). On a turn, players will choose one of their cards and place it face-down. After all have chosen, players flip their cards and, beginning with the leader, choose to take one of the actions on their card. After three turns, players score all their accumulated cards. The player to the left then becomes the new leader. After the final round, and everyone had played as the leader, the player with the highest score wins.

At present, the game only exists as print & play.
