Heads won't roll

Few days ago I had a game of Guillotine with five players. It was certainly simple enough casual experience for total strangers. 

I had two "draw two nobles" cards and various "+1 points for a particular color noble" in my hand, but received only trash nobles or didn't get to use my cards at all. When I finally landed my +1 points for each blue noble, I had only one such. In the aftermath I placed last. 

But hey, at least I can virtue signal with my obvious selective opposition to capital punishment.
