Do your best to rid yourself of them all, as soon as you can - while your opponents do their damnedest to fill your hand with more. Empty your hand three times to WIN - and become the ENVY of all your friends! Object: Play as many cards as you can each turn, of the same Suit, Number value or a Straight of any length, trying to empty your hand as quickly as possible, while at the same time preventing your opponents from doing the same. The top most card of the set you play activates that suit's very thematic ability, either helping you further or sandbagging your opponents. Each time you successfully empty your hand (and manage to keep it empty until the end of the turn), your new starting hand will be two cards smaller than the previous time, as tracked by your Wickedness token. (6, 4, 2, 0) Empty your hand three times, and you WIN! Quick-teaching, dastardly card game for ages 10 & up. Highly interactive, “take that” style game play. Humorously themed upon the Seven Deadly Sins, depicted as cute lil’ animals of evil, each with a special ability befitting their nature. A nasty little card game that's a hell of a good time. ******************** Head over to the Tabletop Bellhop blog where you'll find more tabletop gaming content, including game and game night advice, reviews, and more: https://tabletopbellhop.com Sign up for our newsletter: https://newsletter.tabletopbellhop.com Pick up a copy of The Deadlies at Amazon (affiliate links): https://amzn.to/3Mi0tM2 Find us all over the web: Dice.camp: https://dice.camp/@TabletopBellhop/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tabletopbellhop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop Discord: https://discord.tabletopbellhop.com Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/tabletopbellhop.bsky.social
