About the game
In Night Knight, you want to get rid of your cards first in a new type of pillow fight. To set up, each player receives a stack of cards face down, and two pillows are placed face down in the center of the table. On a turn, each player reveals their top card, then races to carry out the action depicted...maybe: With a red card, you must grab a pillow and throw it at someone with a green card. If no one has a green card, though, don't touch anything! With a green card, use your card as a shield to protect yourself from a thrown pillow — unless no one has a red card in which case you're forbidden to form a card shield. With a pink card, grab one of the pillows and lay your head down on it. With a blue card that depicts the pillow king, then no one should do anything! If you do what you're supposed to do — or don't do what you're not supposed to do — then discard your card. If you make a mistake or take action when the king is present, then place your card on the bottom of your stack. The first player to play their final card wins.

The catalogue lists Night Knight for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
