FaceEater

Published 2010

Enter a world that sends you down a twisting and turning path of hostility, deception and revenge full of zombies, vampires, social deviants and overall dastardly beasties. Undo the past and change the future in one sitting. Care to lobotomize a friend? Want to give them the plague? Or spray them with nerve gas? Play FaceEater, the post-apocalyptic game where death is your friend, mercy is a weakness and shafting your friends is fun. The game of Face Eater comes with a FaceEater Deck containing four standard decks, consisting of 104 regular cards, 88 Power Cards, 8 Face Eaters and 8 Jokers. The Survival Guide includes the rules and a Power Card index with cross-referenced explanations of all cards and terms used in the game. Although two to six people can play, three to five players seems to work best The object of FaceEater is to avoid having your face eaten while you shaft your opponents! A standard FaceEater game has three rounds, and the player with the lowest score at the end of the third round wins. Play as many or as few rounds as you'd like. Call the game as desired in each round, except in two to three player games where “no limit” is required for sets, straights, and runs. When “no limit” is chosen in four to six player games, the game is more dangerous and moves at a faster pace.
