The 5 Hows: Guillotine

This is a guide for how to play the game Guillotine. I normally like to link to the official game website, but in this case I could not find a publisher that admits to owning the game, so the best I could do is the rules.

1. How do I win?
By having the most points at the end of 3 rounds.

2. How do I get points?
By collecting Noble cards with point values.

3. How do I collect Noble cards?
Each turn, you collect a Noble at the front of the line of Noble cards.

4. How do I work a strategy into that, if all I’m doing is getting a card in turn?
You have Action cards that let you rearrange the order of the Noble cards, or get extra points based on which types of Noble cards you have.

5. How do I get Action cards?
Each turn, after you take your Noble card, you just automatically draw an Action card from the deck. Plus you start with a few Action cards, but no Nobles.

It is a simple game, really. A smidgen of strategy, but more luck of the cards, so you can just play the game. But it is still fun.
