About The Tragedy of Othello, from BoardGameGeek:

"The Tragedy of Othello" is a Tragic and Treacherous Shakespeare-themed card game. In The Tragedy of Othello, you and your opponents are actors auditioning for the lead role of the villainous Iago, trying to impress the casting director with your ability to embody Iago's treachery and deceit! You will play script cards from the cast of characters to gain points as you advance Shakespeare's script, and play staging cards to disrupt the play of your rivals. Also play intrigue tokens, character coins and spotlight tokens to strategically improve your position. When you control the lead character, Iago, your opportunities to gain points increase. Alas, opportunities also exist to steal points, so take heed: opponents playing the other characters as 'The Company' may try to upstage you! The actor who accumulates the most points at the end of Act V wins the game by stealing the spotlight and landing the role of Iago! No Shakespeare knowledge required. -description from publisher
