Machine of Death

Description

A 50 card deck of death predictions: ways in which people can die.

Rather than being a game in itself, the cards are a game system: they are used to create and play other games, or optionally supplement other existing games. The cards come with rules for games with players being encouraged to create their own.

The cards feature a single word or phrase detailing how a person can die: for instance, OLD AGE or TRAGIC FLAW or FED UP BARISTA. These predictions can be used in party games ala Apples to Apples: one player names a weapon and the rest submit a card from their hand that they feel could have been given to a person killed with that weapon. They can be used in storytelling games, where each player gets a card and the group must construct a series of events in which everyone dies. The rules also include an RPG of sorts, where players must buy items to kill targets with the deaths dealt from the deck.
