🏰 MTG: Hidden Roles – King & Conspirators Variant 🔥 A throne claimed. A court divided. A dagger in the dark.
Step into a game of Magic where trust is a liability and your allies may already be sharpening their blades. In this Commander-style multiplayer variant, each player receives a hidden role—with secret allegiances, asymmetric goals, and one thing in common: only one side can rule.
🎭 The Roles:
👑 The King (Revealed) – The rightful ruler. Wins if all Bandits, Usurpers, and the Assassin are eliminated.
🛡️ The Royal Guard(s) (Hidden) – Loyal to the King. Wins if the King survives.
🗡️ The Bandits (Hidden) – Rebels who seek to destroy the monarchy. Win if the King and Usurper are dead.
🎯 The Assassin (Hidden) – Solo agent of chaos. Wins only if they personally deal the killing blow to the King.
🔄 The Usurper (Hidden) – Secret pretender to the throne. Wins by killing the King, then becomes the new King, gaining their win condition from that point on. But beware—the throne paints a target on your back.
⚔️ How It Works:
The King reveals themselves at the start. Everyone else keeps their roles secret.
When a player is eliminated, their role is revealed.
If the Usurper kills the King, they flip their role, declare themselves the new King, and the game continues—with all remaining Guards now loyal to them, and enemies re-plotting accordingly.
Only one side (or the Assassin) can win.
💥 What Makes It Epic:
Ever-shifting alliances and second-guessing
Political maneuvering and dramatic table talk
Perfect for 5–8 players
One throne. Many ambitions. Can you survive the shadows and seize the crown? 👑
