About this expansion

Coup: Inquisitor Promo Card is a promotional character for the Coup Resistance universe, supporting games for 2–10 players. The Inquisitor replaces the Ambassador and introduces a different set of choices for managing cards and confronting opponents.

When using the Inquisitor, the player has two options. They can draw one card for swapping purposes, giving the character a role that is somewhat like the Ambassador. Alternatively, they can attack another player.

An Inquisitor attack can still be challenged: the targeted player may call the Inquisitor player’s bluff. If the attack goes through, the Inquisitor player can look at one of the targeted player’s cards. They may either allow that player to keep the card or force them to discard it and receive a new card.

  • Swap option: Draw one card for swapping purposes.
  • Attack option: Target another player and, if the attack succeeds, inspect one of their cards.
  • Card decision: Let the inspected card remain or force its discard and replacement.
  • Captain defense: Both the Ambassador and Inquisitor block the Captain.

The Inquisitor creates a clear choice between a card-focused action and a more direct attack. Its ability also adds a decision after a successful attack, since the player can choose whether the revealed card should stay or be replaced.

As a promotional addition, Coup: Inquisitor Promo Card offers an alternative to the Ambassador while retaining the shared ability of both characters to block the Captain.
