Off With Their Heads!

Flip a card, win or lose the bout, then write where the rank sends you.

A reveal-and-write card game in which the rank of your flipped card decides not how many points you win, but which of three very different areas of your score sheet you get to fill in.

Who it's for

Card game players who want the tension of trick-taking with the steady personal progress of a roll-and-write sheet.

Not for you if…

You dislike games where deliberately losing a round is often the correct play, or you want a purely constructive puzzle without direct competition.

Vibe's take

Sharp and slightly cruel – you spend every bout weighing whether coming first is actually worth it, and the simultaneous reveal turns each round into a small standoff.
