You and your opponents are actors auditioning for the lead role of the villainous Iago, trying to impress the casting director with your ability to embody Iago’s treachery and deceit! You’ll play script cards from the cast of characters to gain points as you advance Shakespeare’s script, and play staging cards to disrupt the play of your rivals. You can also play intrigue, character, and spotlight tokens to strategically improve your position. Try to wound characters and leave them for dead and revive them later for points. When you control the lead character in each act, your opportunities to gain points increase. You will want to control Iago as much as possible in Acts I–IV. Control Othello in Act V, so you can strike the final tragic blow! Your opponents playing the other characters as “The Company” will try to upstage you and steal points, so take heed!
