Gambit Royale, first released under the name Ruse & Bruise, is a fast-paced card game in the tradition of Citadels. Magicians and dragons, kings and princesses populate the land and want only one thing: the greatest fame. The players try to use their royal household to cause problems for their opponents and trick them with clever card placement.

The 2018 edition of Gambit Royale contains five more cards than the first edition of Ruse & Bruise.
