Watch “William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Othello - In the Spotlight Review,” a board game review for The Tragedy of Othello on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by BoxedMeeples on YouTube:

Julian and Libby are playing a Bard Game, as they sit down with William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Othello from No Drama Games. With its clever mix of theatrical roleplay and tragic scheming, this game sets the stage for jealousy, betrayal and plenty of plotting in the wings. But what did they think of it? Was this a production worth a standing ovation, or one that should exit, stage left? Their thoughts, like Iago’s plans, are not short of drama. Will you support this project, or leave it to soliloquise alone in the dark? To find out more and back the game head to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nodramajohn/the-tragedy-of-othello You may have seen some cameos from @thefunwithboxes Do watch their tutorial video of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88PHz8YSPWI ---If you want to contribute to the channel , or just wish to say thanks, you can do that here: https://ko-fi.com/boxedmeeples (There is NO obligation to do so, and our content will always be eventually available to all) We love our FLGS Chaos Cards.

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
