About Royal Betrayal: Attack of Wolloofy, from BoardGameGeek:
The Bad Overlord, Wolloofy, has awakened and is hungry, and only the survival of The Prince keeps this beast in check. But traitors lurk in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Royal Betrayal: Attack of Wolloofy is a 4-6 player semi-cooperative survival and social deduction game where alliances are fragile, and every choice could mean the difference between life and death.
In this brutal world, your resources are your life: your hand of cards directly represents your Health Points (HP). Taking damage means losing your hand of cards, while running out of cards results in permanent elimination. Players must navigate a tense balance of PvE and PvP combat, rolling dice or tapping weapons to chip away at Wolloofy's health,which is uniquely tracked by a row of degrading dice ,engaging in high-risk unarmed brawls to weaken suspicious players or passing a card to another player to gain their trust. Meanwhile, environmental threats like relentless Wolves and dynamic Story and Mutation cards keep everyone on edge.
Secret identities drive the tension. The Loyalists ,consisting of the public Prince and the hidden Guard holding the King's Shield,must keep the Prince alive while defeating the Overlord. Traitors, however, seek to eliminate both the Prince and Wolloofy, or fulfill secret ambitions. If the Prince falls, the seal breaks and the game plunges into "Despair Mode," where Wolloofy goes Berserk, unleashing unblockable damage on all surviving players and turning the game into a pure nightmare of survival.
Will you protect the Prince, or will you succumb to the chaos and betray them all?
