Do you want to play a game? Collect tools and try to keep hold of your limbs in this trap-building fight for survival. Jigsaw's time is coming to an end. In his search for a successor, he has captured you in his workshop with everything you need to create his traps, and everything you need to break them! The game is simple: build the best traps to challenge your opponents, while preparing to escape those set against you. Each turn starts by drawing new cards from the deck. These include tools, search items, trap parts, and more. You must combine your trap parts to create traps for your opponents. Each trap has a unique story and challenge, and there are over 2000 possible combinations in the game. When you have a complete trap, and a Billy card, you can say the iconic phrase "I want to play a game" and then challenge your opponent to try to escape your creation! Your opponent has a choice: they can either take the sacrifice - a set amount of damage - or they can try to escape the trap using tool cards and search items. If they're prepared, they could get away without harm! However, if they get it wrong, things could get much worse. SAW: The Jigsaw Trials has a unique jigsaw damage system. Each player has a character jigsaw, and they must swap their legs and arms for broken x-ray limbs as they take damage. Take too much, and they could lose the limb completely. When that happens, the player will lose blood each turn, and when all their blood is gone they are out! The last player left standing is worthy of taking the name JIGSAW! -description from designer
