Description

A competitive card game set in a world of crazy superheroes and dastardly supervillains. At the start of each game, all 52 cards are shuffled and dealt out evenly between the players - these will be a mixture of 'Hero' 'Villain' and 'Civilian' cards. There are also two wild cards - Bad Trevor (the ultimate villain) and his arch nemesis Kamikaze Kevin.

Whoever is dealt Kamikaze Kevin places him face-up in the middle of the table - play starts with this person in a clockwise direction. The aim of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand before your opponents do. On their go, a player lays down an 'attack hand' against the next opponent. This is three cards chosen from their hand that are laid face down in front of them. The opponent must then draw one at random.

If a player draws a Villain card, this will screw them over in some way. If they draw a Hero card this will help them. In both instances, they must read the card out loud, place it on the discard pile and then carry out that instruction. If a player draws a civilian card, this can be discarded providing they have a matching civilian card in their hand. If they do have a pair, both can be placed on the discard pile. The player can then chose to carry on as normal by playing an attack hand against the next opponent in line. They can chose to reverse the order of play. Or they can demand a certain civilian from another player by pointing at them and asking for it by name. However, if they ask someone who doesn't have that card, their go is over and play moves to the next person.

If a player draws Bad Trevor from an opponent's attack hand, they must also pick up all the remaining cards from their attack hand as well - adding them to their own. Bad Trevor is the only card in the deck that can never be discarded, so as play continues and more and more cards are placed on the discard pile, the last person left holding Bad Trevor is crowned the loser of the game.

At any point in the game, is someone suspects that a certain card in a player's attack hand is Bad Trevor they can pick up Kamikaze Kevin, slam him on top of that card and say "Take That Bad Trevor!" If that person turns out to be correct, they can immediately leave the game and hand all their remaining cards to their opponent. However, if they guessed incorrectly, their opponent can leave the game instead and hand all their cards to their accuser. Kamikaze Kevin can only be used once in the entire game, after which he must be placed on the discard pile.
