There was no king in the serene republic of Venice, but every year one was chosen. During the carnival at the Doge`s palace the masked ball of the false king was held. At the ball a courtly game of blind man`s buff was played where the winner was crowned king for the evening. In this nine card nanogame players position character cards around one card in the middle of the table and guessing each others play try to become the Kingmaker and thus win the game. The Fool will jest, the Minstrel will dance and the Courtisan… erhm prefers touch.
