Murder on the Cards is a quick play card game for 2 to 6 players that combines dark humour with the silly extremes of everyday irritants.

Each player is dealt 6 random Save Yourself cards and a Life Card at the start of the game, to be used against the To Your Demise Card scenarios that are presented on each turn. There are also To Your Demise cards that rely on a player's wit and luck alone. The Save Yourself cards counteract the various To Your Demise scenarios, but a player needs the correct Save Yourself card to survive, and if they don't have it, they can either barter with other players or gamble with the house deck. If you can't save yourself then you are Critically Hit and reduced to 1 Save Yourself card and your Life Card. After that, if the murderer gets you through the To Your Demise cards - you're toast.

The goal of the game is to last the longest against The Murderer. Every game is different, some result in a lone survivor and others leave everyone dead, but ultimately the last alive wins.
