In Moods of the Mad King, each player takes on the role of a playwright tasked with writing a play that matches the King`s mood. Playwrights must also please their Muse. Those who fail to please the King will lose their heads, while those who fail to please their Muse will lose their patronage. During Moods of the Mad King, you add cards to the Play that you create. You win if at the end of the game your play has at least one card that matches the King`s Mood and one card that matches your Muses preferred genre.
