Man-Eating House

A trick-taking game set in a haunted house, where players compete to collect scoring cards depicting children and ghosts. The deck uses three suits and ranks from 0 to 15, with no trump suit and a must-follow rule; the highest rank usually wins each trick. Card combinations can trigger special effects, such as children escaping or weapons fighting ghosts, while special cards may introduce drafting or cancel these effects. In four-player games, two teams compete to collect the most scoring cards. In three-player games, the player who plays the Old Man faces the other two players, with hidden roles and different victory conditions.
