Description

In Dumb Ways to Die, your goal is simple: keep your Beans alive. Easier said than done, as these hapless characters have a knack for finding the most ridiculous ways to meet their demise. With a deck of cards that's more likely to hinder than help, you'll need to think fast and play smart to outlast your opponents. Each turn, you'll roll a die to determine how many actions you must take, drawing cards or playing them from your hand to try and stay one step ahead. As you play, you'll encounter all sorts of wacky challenges and obstacles, from forcing other players to draw cards to swapping hands or launching attacks. But don't worry, you can defend yourself with the right cards - if you're lucky enough to have them. With its simple rules and quick gameplay, Dumb Ways to Die is a hilarious and unpredictable ride for 2 to 5 players, lasting around 10 to 30 minutes. Will you be the last player standing, or will your Beans succumb to their own dumb ways to die?
