In Control Freak & Loser Heroes, players take turns being the Control Freak Demon. When it's your turn to be the Demon, you choose three out of six weapon tokens to be your weapon shields. This means that if the heroes use these three weapons to attack you, they will make an attack error and lose points.
The hero's attacks are made using weapon dice, so your goal is to use your hand of cards to try to make the heroes attack with those specific weapons. If you don't like the hero's weapon, you can use your skill cards to make the hero roll the dice again.
The fun part of this game is that when you play a skill card, it is played face down, so you can choose to bluff. For example, you play 'Skill 1,' but then claim, 'I played 'Skill 2.' When you plays a skill card, other players can decide whether to catch you.
If you are caught bluffing, that card is removed and has no effect.
If not caught, the card is successfully used to trigger the skill you claimed.
Each player takes turns as the Control Freak Demon, and each Demon has three rounds. After each player has been the Demon once, the game ends, and scoring begins.
Go for it! The hero has only 3 rounds! Get your weapon ready to attack the demon!
Can you become a renowned hero? Or will you be a 'Loser Hero' who repeatedly experiences attack failures? It all depends on your luck and observation!
