cindy109Yes Chopping off heads and stabbing people in the back. Wildly popular with all the kids who have played it.
122norfolk99Yes Very popular with all the children I've seen play. It is often the first game they ask for.
boltongeordie97Yes The theme really appeals to kids and once they can read confidently they really seem to enjoy the control they have over the line and the 'take that' play. Lots of fun.
fortgary99Yes My pre-teens and teens love this game, and it leads to discussions of the historical accuracies between the game and the actual French Revolution. The constant switchup of the execution line keeps everyone on their toes the entire game.
guantanamo98Yes  
Mark98 Very fun card game. Theme is a pretty morbid for kids, but it's easy to not take this seriously.
mawiker97Yes  
sandys99Some Kids need to be able to read well, so not for youngsters. I've enjoyed playing this with my older boys, though, 12 and 15.
talhoffer98Yes gruesomely fun for all
ef89Yes  
laiernie810Yes very similar to family business, but i prefer guillotine over family business. guillotine has an equally objectionable theme but minus the player elimination.
laraberrycross89Yes Always good for a laugh. Fun and easy game.
metalchorus89Yes Easy to teach plays well with any number of players. Good light and fast game. Subject is a little morbid for little ones...although it is cartoony.
Randougall810Yes Easy to learn rules, although there can be quite a bit of text on some of the cards for younger players. The theme is morbid - nobles lined up for the guillotine - but most older kids will be able to handle this.
The Unbeliever79Yes Mature theme.
