Creatures of Darkness is a 30-minute game in which you’re hoping to be the last creature standing.
You’ll start with three creatures in your hand and each round you must choose a creature that you hope will survive the night. OR! Maybe you’ll play something weak because you sense your neighbor may force you to trade your creature for theirs?
Survive the Darkness and you’ll live to play another round, but beware! Lycanthropy, vampirism and other maladies can spread so future rounds may be more dangerous than earlier rounds.
Should the night take all your cards, there is yet hope! Linger as a ghost and be revived to continue the fight!

500 units currently being printed!
It's been play tested a lot and we think it's ready for the masses. Shown here is the full nearly final prototype (with a box and everything) of the game.
Printing, cutting, clipping (repeat)
we think it’s just about ready…
Play testing shows you a lot. The good and the bad. BOTH usually require making changes and creating a new set to test. Sometimes it’s just a typo (though honestly there are the singular most annoying issues to find), sometimes it’s that the placement of elements on the card need to be adjusted and sometimes entire mechanics need to be changed which can affect every other card in the deck.
Suffice it to say the iterative process of honing in on making the game the best you hope to make it leaves a LOT of little pieces of paper all over the place.
