Watch “THE LITTLE DEATH: THE GAME Unboxing – Be the Grim Reaper & Earn Your Reaping Diploma! ️,” a board game unboxing for La Petite Mort on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by The Offline Gamer (TOGCast) on YouTube:

Death comes for us all — but today, we're the ones doing the reaping. 💀 Welcome to The Little Death: The Game by Lumberjacks Studio, the darkly delightful card game that became a massive hit in France with nearly 20,000 copies sold, and has finally made its way to English-speaking tables. Time to grow, guide, and gracefully harvest some souls! The Little Death is a wickedly clever hand-management card game for 2–4 players where you play as a junior Grim Reaper training for your Reaping Diploma. You'll lovingly nurture your own characters through life — waiting for the perfect natural death — while aggressively cutting down your opponents' characters early. The twist? Reaping opponents is faster but means splitting the rewards. It's a game full of dark humour, tough decisions, and satisfying moments, with multiple Diploma difficulties that make it accessible for casual players and a genuine challenge for veterans. 🔗 Links: https://lumberjacks-studio.com/en/home/ https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgameversion/510446/english-edition Thanks for watching this video!

About La Petite Mort, from BoardGameGeek:

In the world of the dead, the Death reaps human souls when their lives are to end. After a long labor, it will (finally) give up its position to a new Grim Reaper who will have followed a meticulous training… 'You are a “Little Death” … and you are going to get your Reaping Diploma! Your goal is to be the first player to obtain your Reaping Diploma by achieving 4 of the objectives shown on the Diploma. During the game, each player will have characters in their playing area who will be born, grow, age, enrich their personalities or acquire skills that will bring them strengths and weaknesses throughout their lives. You will see your characters live and guide them gently on their Deathbed to the liberating Reap. It is by guiding your characters to their “natural death” that you will have the best chance of achieving the objectives required to get your Diploma. You will also be able to reap opponent's character with Reap cards. To do so, a Reap card must meets requirements, weakness symbols, that must be present on the targeted character cards. Reaping your opponent's characters is easier, but it's less rewarding because, in this case, you'll have to share the won cards with one or more of your opponents. The characters in your playing area will therefore be targeted by other players. Some cards with strength symbols will protect your character from another similar weakness symbol. They will be be harder to reap! Different levels of play are available in the box through different Diplomas to obtain. From Easy to Expert level, Diplomas will suit all types of players, from casual to expert! ••• La Grande Faucheuse moissonne les âmes arrivées au terme de leur existence. Après bien des moissons et des vies fauchées au cours de son interminable carrière, il est temps pour elle de laisser (enfin) sa place à une nouvelle Faucheuse, qui devra d'abord suivre une formation rigoureuse… 'Vous êtes une «Petite Mort» … vous allez passer votre Diplôme de Fauche ! Votre but sera d'être le premier à obtenir votre Diplôme de Fauche en remplissant 4 objectifs présents sur celui-ci. Pendant la partie, chaque joueur disposera, dans sa zone de jeu, de personnages qui vont naître, grandir, vieillir et enrichir leur personnalité ou acquérir des aptitudes qui vont leur apporter des forces et des faiblesses pendant leur vie. Vous verrez vos personnages vivre et les accompagnerez en douceur sur leur Lit de Mort, jusqu'à la fauche libératrice. C'est en accompagnant vos personnages jusqu'à leur «Belle mort», que vous aurez le plus de chances de réaliser les objectifs requis pour votre diplôme. Vous pourrez également Fauchez les personnages de vos adversaires grâce aux cartes Fauche. Pour se faire, tous les picots Faiblesse requis par la carte fauche devront être présent sur les cartes du personnage ciblé. C'est plus facile, mais cela rapporte moins car, dans ce cas, vous devrez partager les cartes gagnées avec un ou plusieur adversaires. Les personnages de votre zone de jeu vont donc être la cible des autres joueurs. Certaines cartes apporteront des picots Force qui annuleront une faiblesse identique, protégeant ainsi votre personnage. Il sera plus difficile à Faucher! Différents niveaux de jeux sont présent dans la boîte via différents diplômes à obtenir. Du niveau Facile à Expert les diplômes conviendront à tout type de joueurs, d'occasionnel à expert !!
