Who it's for

Card game groups who like ladder climbers such as Tichu or The Great Dalmuti and want a spookier, lighter take.

Not for you if…

You want strategic depth or a game where nobody dumps their problems in your lap.

Vibe's take

Light, mean and quick – a friendly ladder climber where every card you get rid of lands on somebody else's pile.
