About the Game

This game was made as a form of giving back to our fans and supporters. Yes, it's FREE! You can get the Print N Play file simply by subscribing your email to Medieval Lords. We love to spread fun and joy (perhaps death and destruction too, in this case) It is wild, so expect to laugh lots when you play - more so if your friends are horrible actors! Alternatively, you can get the game professionally printed over at The Game Crafter here: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/i-know-how-you-died1 (Cost-to-cost price by Game Crafter with zero profit for us) This game is intended for pure utter rubbish type of casual fun, don't go in expecting any serious game play! Play this with the wrong crowd and you'd end up in an awkward evening!

Players are issued 3 random secret cards depicting various deaths, and they must choose one of them to re-enact. Then after everyone has done a quick 5 to 10 seconds re-enactment of their chosen scene, they toss these cards (still face-down) into a common pile in the middle of the table. Shuffle the pile and reveal the top card to everyone. If anyone wants to guess at who had acted out the death scene of that particular card, simply say 'I know!' and call out that player's name. This is on a first-come-first-serve basis. Note that the actual actor of the card cannot guess his/her own card, but must pretend to participate so as not to give the answer away.

If a scene was guessed correctly the first time, the guesser gains 4 Point. If a scene was guessed correctly the second time, the guesser gains 3 Point. The actor also gets 3 Points. All wrong guesses will deduct 1 Point from the guesser.

If no one got the correct answer to a scene after two attempts, the next scene is drawn and the game continues. After 3 scenes, the entire pile is discarded completely and a new round begins. This also means there will be some scenes that do not show up despite having been acted out. This is to increase the difficulty of the game.

The game ends when the last card is drawn, or when someone achieves 20 or more Points. Rules can be found at the Files section of this game page.

Have fun dying...
