2017 · Deduction

Campy Creatures

Players act as mad scientists commanding an army of classic monster minions to capture mortals for experiments over three nights. Each round begins with all players holding the same set of creature cards; players simultaneously play creatures to attempt captures while bluffing and deducing opponents’ intentions. Perfect information at the start and hand management reward reading other players’ patterns and anticipating plays. The game resolves set-collection scoring based on the value of captured mortals and uses deduction and timing rather than luck to determine the victor.
