Ok, the inspiration for this game came from this forum! I took the wink/murder game and beefed it up a bit. Tried it out last year and it was a smash! People are asking about the game this year, so I have revamped it to go with my Serial Killer theme. Here’s the instructions I sent out with the invitations last year.
Survivor: Zombie Island
Object: to be the last human alive on zombie Island.
Materials:
- Repel, Kill & Resistance Cards (provided at party)
- Misanthropic view of fellow humans
- Double agent sneak attack skills
Types of Cards:
Human:
- Repel cards: Hydrochloric acid, flashlight, sacrifice your buddy, Crowbar
- Kill Cards: Chainsaw, Shotgun
Zombie:
• Resistance cards: zombie super speed –dodges acid, sunglasses, zombie super strength – crowbar is useless.
Rules:
1. You may only chose one card from either human or zombie categories at a time from the super private confessional (aka the bathroom). You must choose the card that matches your game status (no humans get to pick zombie cards) NOTE: the cards are sealed into envelopes, so you can’t sort through them to pick out the chainsaw.
2. The first volunteer zombie will be given a fantastic prize for being the first zombie (please rsvp to hostess in order to claim your zombie status and prize – this is a first come first serve basis)
3. Zombies will systematically hunt down and devour human victims. Resulting in humans turning into zombies after their brains have been eaten. A zombie may choose to kill covertly or out in the open; however, attacking out in the open may destroy your chances of multiple kills and making new friends.
4. Humans can repel and even kill zombies by using the cards they have drawn from the confessional at the start of the game. However, if a zombie has the matching resistance card the zombie wins the confrontation.
5. Cards are a one time use only. Please give the card to the respective creature you have used it on. You are now free to return to the confessional to draw a new card, unless you are a zombie that has been killed by the chainsaw or the shotgun.
6. Zombies that have been killed will turn to dust and are out of the game. Please see hostess for “dead zombie prize” and public humiliation.
Oh and I am SO stealing the Tempt Your Fate game idea - cuz it's brilliant!
