From Introduction: "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child" -King Lear In Serpent's Tooth we pick a King and give him a Kingdom to rule. The rest of us play members of the King's court, each with a hidden nature, and each able to seize the King's power for their own. Through play we will discover the fate of the Kingdom, its King, and what power does to the powerful. Serpent's Tooth plays in about 3 hours and is best with 3-5 people.
