Starting the Game

At the beginning of the game, each player chooses a role. Draws three cards.

Turns

At the beginning of the turn a horror card is revealed and each player chooses an Action Card from their hand. Once all players have chosen their card, they're revealed simultaneously. The player with the lowest score loses the round, and collects the current horror card.

Ties

If more than one player has the lowest score for a round, then a tiebreaker round starts. The tying players play a turn to break the tie, and repeat until the tie is broken.

Horrors

Horrors are usually one of three types: Arcane, Anomaly, Monstrosity. Each type has an icon and color associated with it. If a player collects 3 of the same horror, they lose the game.

Cosmic Horrors

Cosmic horrors are horror cards that count as all types. Collecting a cosmic horror adds to all three type counters.

Roles

Biases

Some roles have biases, which means when facing certain horrors, their action cards can be worth more or less depending on the bias, indicated by the arrows in their character box.

Action Deck

Each role has their own unique Action deck, which is 7 action cards with varying point values and effects. Certain effects are only active during specific points of gameplay, it's important to use them at the right time!

Action Cards

Action cards have a point value, and sometimes an effect.
