The year is 1605 - Robert Catesby has summoned you to the duck and drake in London. The date is the 5th day of the 11th month - King James I resides on the throne. Catesby has gathered a following of disgruntled Catholics, all of whom do not like the way the Church of England are treating the Catholic people. His plan is to reduce the Houses of Parliament to rubble whilst King James is inside. Over the past weeks barrels of gunpowder have been secretly placed under the key pillar of the Parliament building. You and your team have been tasked with the detonation. Find the explosives, plant the dynamite and blow the King sky high. Can you re-write the history books?

I've never associated Guy Fawkes with Rawtenstall, but I'm sure that if he had then he would have frequented Lucardo's tavern with its questionable clientele. Great puzzles and a wonderfully funny bit of theatre makes this a great game with a very satisfying ending. So much fun!

Another great game from Lucardo.  Some clever twists on very traditional puzzles that made them different.

The latest from Lucardo did not disappoint and is once again a lot of fun to play incorporating some great dramatic and theatrical moments (that key eh?).  The game is set around Guy Fawkes as he tries to blow up parliament and incorporates you into the plot.  Whilst possibly not historically accurate this is a fun game with a lot going for it.

The most impressive fact with Treason is that Simon and his family have built it all themselves, a true family effort, and the effort shows and it is a room he should really be proud of!
