The Slasher

Product detailed description

A tranquil summer camp deep in the woods turns into a blood-soaked nightmare. Shadows stretch long under the moonlight, and somewhere out there, a killer is stalking the cabins with a crimson blade. You and your companion must gather your courage and supplies to escape this slasher’s hunt. Your only chance is to work together, outsmart the darkness, and survive the night.

Survive the night through trust, tricks, and terror.

1. Gameplay that replicates the rising tension of a horror movie.

2. Cooperative risk management handled via trick taking.

3. Small box game with multiple difficulty levels.

Set up the game including the current area (trick taking rules) card. Shuffle number cards and deal 8 cards to each player. Place the remaining 4 cards to the side, using one as the trump. Players play 8 tricks, one card per player per trick. Tricks are resolved using normal trick-taking rules plus the trump color. Afterwards, the item phase happens in turn order.

For each yellow card you have, reveal one card from the item deck. You'll choose one card to keep. If the killer comes out, take 1 damage + additional damage for each red card you won. However, green cards can be used to cancel the red cards. The yellow cards change their effects based on your current health.

If you collect enough escape items to get away from the killer - you win! If either of your health runs out, or you trigger 3 traps by breaking the area rules - you lose!
