Description

Man-Eating House is a thrilling trick-taking game for 3 to 4 players that will have you on the edge of your seat. Set in a haunted house, this game is all about scoring points by taking honor cards, which include cards with child figures, ghost figures, a dog, and an old man. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but the gameplay is engaging enough to keep experienced players coming back for more. With a playtime of just 15 minutes or less, you can fit in a game or two even on the busiest of days. As you play, you'll need to follow trick-taking rules, playing a card from your hand that matches the suit of the first card played. But beware - there are exceptions to the rules that can turn the game on its head. For example, if two players play a child card of the same suit, they'll both score a point instead of the winner taking the trick. In a four-player game, you'll team up with a partner to take down your opponents, while in a three-player game, the player who plays the old man card will compete against the other two players in a battle to capture the most honor cards. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Man-Eating House is a game that's sure to delight horror fans and card game enthusiasts alike.
