Woe to the Living
Players take the role of sinister spectral forces that haunt the night and feed on the terror they create. Across four rounds, they select prey and build terror while avoiding so much fear that their victims die and become useless. A card-swapping mechanism lets players exchange face-down cards during each round. By judging opponents’ motives, players pass them unwanted cards or take the cards they need. The goal is to finish with the second-highest total terror.
