Trinkets! is a multiplayer party game where players use social deduction to outsmart opponents and claim the title of Crow King. Each round offers fresh challenges with unique trinkets, strategic Egg Bombs, and unpredictable rivalries. No two games are alike!

DEMO LIMITATIONS

This demo includes only the default game mode and public lobbies. Features like private lobbies, custom game modes, the global leaderboard, in-game chat, and accessories will only be available in the full game.

HOW TO PLAY

The game unfolds over 13 rounds. Players select trinkets to collect while deducing their opponents’ secret categories.

CHARACTER SELECTION

Before the game, choose one of six crow personalities—The Duelist, The Warrior, The Bard, The Jester, The Warlock, or The Child. Each personality has unique reactions during trinket collection or loss.

CATEGORY SELECTION

At the start of each game, players choose one secret category from a pool of 12. There are 6 colors and 6 types of trinkets, making each round different based on your choice.

• Trinket Colors: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, White

• Trinket Types: Gem, Weapon, Candle, Paper, Jewelry, Potion

Each player is presented with 3 category choices. Once you select yours, the other two can be ruled out as your opponents' secret categories. Use this knowledge to your advantage as you collect trinkets and outsmart your competition!

TRINKET SELECTION

Every round, 5 random trinkets from a pool of 72 appear. You have limited time to choose, so act fast!

PLAYER ACTION

In this demo, the Egg Bomb is the only available player action. During rounds 3 to 10, one player each round has the chance to deploy the Egg Bomb, allowing them to destroy one trinket of their choice.

Timing is crucial—use the early rounds to gather information about other players' categories before introducing sabotage into the mix!

REVEAL & COLLECTION

After selections are made, trinkets are revealed, and any used actions (like the Egg Bomb) are carried out. Players collect their chosen trinket unless it’s destroyed.

SCORING

Points are tallied based on the trinkets' match to player categories:

• +1 point for collecting any trinket.

• +1 point for trinkets that match your category.

• +2 points for trinkets that match another player's category.

• +2 bonus points for trinkets that match multiple categories.

During rounds 1 to 10, the current leader is marked by a crown above their crow, adding to the competitive atmosphere. Player scores remain hidden until the end of the game.

END GAME

After 13 rounds, the player with the most points is crowned the next Crow King!

REPLAY

With 72 trinkets and constantly changing strategies, no two games of Trinkets! are the same. The mix of categories and actions keeps each playthrough fresh and engaging. Whether refining your strategy or experimenting with different personalities, Trinkets! offers countless opportunities to replay and reclaim the title of Crow King!
