Gameplay Overview

  • Each player receives a secret role: King, guards, thieves, or third-party factions.

  • The King secretly hides the peanuts in one of three treasure chests.

  • All players close their eyes. Roles act one by one—swapping chests, spying identities, or setting traps.

  • The thieves act last, with one player unknowingly chosen as their accomplice.

  • After all actions are complete, players open their eyes and begin a heated discussion.

  • The group must imprison one suspicious character.

  • Finally, they choose a treasure chest to check.

  • Victory depends on whether the peanuts are found—or cleverly hidden.

Victory Conditions

  • If the peanuts are in the chosen chest:
    → The Kingdom wins.

  • If not:
    → The Thieves and their secret accomplice win.

  • In rare cases:
    → A third-party faction may fulfill their own victory condition.
