About the Game

"A Horribly Hilarious Horror Card Game!"

Every player is dealt 7 cards face down from the Method of Death deck. The oldest person in the room (i.e. the one closest to death) will assume the role of "Death Dealer."

At the top of each round, the Death Dealer will turn over one Killer and one Victim card from the top of the deck. The remaining players will all play one of their methods in an attempt to create the funniest or most gruesome (usually both) combination. This is decided on by the Death Dealer. Once the Death Dealer decides the winner of that round, the victim is given to the victor and it is added to that player's "body count." How many bodies is enough? Whatever it takes to make the players feel satisfied in their blood-lust.

Players will need to overcome several unique challenges in gameplay such as Plot Twists (cards that alter gameplay mechanics for Players and Death Dealers alike), Guardian Angels (cards that steal rounds from other Players), and Death Itself (cards that randomize gameplay in unexpected ways.)

Once the round is concluded, the person counter-clockwise to the first Death Dealer becomes the new Death Dealer and play resumes.
