About the game
Treason in the Tower is a game of strategy and deceit. Outwit your opponents and be the first to break into the TOWER OF LONDON and steal the crown. How to Play: First you must get a key to get in the front gate. Then you must get a combination of equipment that allows you to steal the Crown Jewels, either by going to locations on the board, or from the Questions & Chance cards. Once you have the jewels, you must escape to the outer walls through designated passageways, and then finally scale the wall at certain spots to get to reach one of the three safe areas on the board, all while evading other players who are trying to duel with you to steal your equipment, weapons, or even the jewels.
