Black Stories

Last Man Falling

This time the aim of the game is not to solve macabre riddles but to discard macabre cards as fast as possible. You are dealt seven cards, the rest is draw pile; one card is revealed to start the discard pile. In turn, each player discards a card to the pile – corresponding in either weapon or number to the top card of the discard pile – or plays an action card – With Choice of Weapon you dictate to the other player the type of weapon he must play, you cannot play this on another Choice or Weapon Card and cannot end the game with this card. Double Murder is played on Double Murder or a corresponding weapon, the next in turn must draw two cards and cannot play a card. Quadruple Attack with Choice of Weapon can only be played if neither weapon or number in your hand fit the top card and you then can determine the next murder weapon and the next player must draw four cards and cannot play one. You cannot play this card to end the game. Change of Escape Direction reverses the turn order, you can play this on a suitable weapon or another Change of Escape Direction. For Jail the next player must mass his turn, you play Jail on a suitable weapon or Jail. Snitching can be played at any time on any card and if you play it, you swap your hand with that of a player of your choice; this player is next to play and must meet the card played before Snitching.

Mistakes cause drawing of penalty cards. If you cannot play any card, you draw a card. Your last card is announced with “Last man Falling”.

Mau Mau combined with Black Stories, nothing new, but wittily made and nice, as is to be expected.
