About the game
Gobgob has someone from history in mind. No, it isn't Gobgob.
Gobgob's favourite bit: Working out what a clue actually means. If a card is played as 'similar', is it the outfit or the century? Expect some friendly debate before anyone gets removed.
📦 In the box: 30 character cards, illustrated by Naïade.
