Medieval cities were home to all kinds of people: pious monks, humble scholars and trustworthy merchants, but also the mischievous, cunning and dishonest. Welcome to Slyville, where you become one of the latter!

Slyville is a game for 3-5 players in which managing your resources matters just as much as your bluffing skills and the ability to read your opponents' strategy. Predict which goods your rivals need, upset their plans and, above all, secure the most valuable deals for yourself.

For the whole family

Humour and simple, intuitive rules put Slyville close to the family game category. Yet plenty of negative interaction, bluffing, negotiation and nastiness will keep fans of Munchkin and Sheriff of Nottingham happy too.

In a maze of districts

The city is made of five districts, shown on colourful, richly illustrated segments of a modular board. Thanks to their random setup and the special skills of each guild, no game of Slyville plays like the last one.

Become the Prince's Favourite

Lead one of Slyville's five guilds, send your trusted henchmen into the districts to do shady business and fight for the Prince's favour. The end justifies the means, doesn't it?

Every round a different player becomes the Prince's Favourite and gets to settle ties. But nobody in this city is incorruptible...

Secret goals and city chronicles

Hidden Agenda cards give each guild leader secret goals to pursue for extra points at the end of the game.

The Book of Slyville Chronicles adds the most unusual events, and some can turn everything upside down. Pirates looting the city, a fire in the library or an audience with the Prince himself: read out a paragraph and see what happens.
