Introducing an intense card game in collaboration with Anarchy54, Based on Escapologic's very own horrifying escape room, THE BUTCHER! Every card counts as the player busts a gut to remain the quietest survivor in their attempt to escape the BUTCHER'S lair. Using a deck of location cards based on the real-life escape room from Escapologic, players take turns in a series of rounds picking a numbered noise card from their hand in hopes of not screaming the loudest (based on the noise amount/number on their played noise card). If you become the unfortunate soul to place the 6th card on a location, the noise amount is too high and you lose blood! To add to injury, hiding randomly amongst the shadows of the location deck will be a variety of BUTCHER location cards, forcing players to undertake a series of anxiety-inducing challenges! In your final attempts to escape, any remaining survivors will face the final boss card, THE RELENTLESS BUTCHER, adding a whole new round of challenges! In the end, there can only be one remaining survivor (winner) unscathed but definitely traumatized! -description from the publisher
