A CARD GAME FOR 2-4 PLAYERS, AGES 10 AND UP

Vampires and zombies have enslaved the human race and selectively bred them for food! Zombies made a human strain with extra large, juicy brains. And the vampires bred people to have fruity, delicious blood and giant hearts. Every so often the monsters harvest a crop, dragging whole families off to be eaten in the graveyard.

The first player to drag nine humans to the graveyard succeeds in hosting a monster feast, and wins the game!

4. The Cards























The SUCCUBUS is of type Party Crasher steals any 1 family or Monster Mash that is visible on the board. She can steal one and only one. For example: she cannot steal both an opponent's blood family and a vampire in the Monster Mash, but rather has to make a decision to steal EITHER the blood family OR the Monster Mash. She can be played instantly, at any time, on any player... except after a player has announced an intention to go to the graveyard (the other player must complete the full utterance "X to the graveyard" in order to block her... a partial utterance is not enough, nor is an inexact utterance). To play, you must say 'Seduce'. Fail to do so, and lose the card to the discard pile.

Instantly play a succubus on top of another succubus to hijack the stolen object. You might steal back your stolen family. Or player 4 might steal the family player 3 just stole from player 2 who stole it from player 1.

Once used, the succubus is placed on the discard pile.


The PREACHER destroys any 1 eater (zombie or vampire) visible on the board and is of type Party Crasher. He can be played instantly, at any time, on any player. To play, you must exclaim 'The power of Christ compels you!'. Fail to do so, and lose the card to the discard pile.

To negate the preacher, play an inverted preacher on him. This is an 'Evil Preacher' and you must say 'The power of evil compels you, (substitute favorite synonym for 'evil' here)!'. Note that the swear word is NOT optional, and if you do not say the phrase exactly like this, with some kind of swear word at the end, you lose the card to the discard pile!

And so on... a preacher can negate an evil preacher with another 'The power of Christ compels you!', etc.

Once used, the preacher is placed on the discard pile.





















The VAMPIRE feasts on blood families and is of type Eater. You must have one of these to take a blood family to the graveyard. To play, you must say 'Blood' in a creepy voice. Fail to do so, and lose the card to the discard pile.



The ZOMBIE feasts on brains families and is of type Eater. You must have one of these to take a brains family to the graveyard. To play, you must say 'Brains' in a creepy voice. Fail to do so, and lose the card to the discard pile.
