Acting as a hired torturer for the Mad King, the goal of "Talk, You Fiend!" is to be the best at your job by inflicting as much pain as possible on the prisoners by choosing to play varying levels of pain cards. Compete against other players to see who is the best at the job, but be careful not to overdo it as the prisoner can only collectively take so pain much before breaking. If the prisoner survives, the player with the highest pain card wins the prisoner, the points, and the round. If the prisoner breaks then be ready to collect the dreaded "Shame Token". Out-wit and bluff your competitors to see who is the best torturer. The first player to reach 10 points wins the game! -description from the publisher
