Vampire Orgy

I've made a card game! It's about having a threesome when one of you is secretly a vampire. You can help spread awareness of this serious issue by downloading the pdf here, printing it off, and playing it with two of your friends.

It's a stressful game. As a human, you have to open yourself up to one of the people across from you, knowing one of them will kill you. Your only information is their actions, body language, expressions. You think you have it figured out - then your guy does something weird, and you're flung into panic. Terrifying uncertainty.

After being human, playing the vampire is like putting your feet into a warm bath. You know who everybody else at the table is, and you know they're just warm meat waiting to be eaten. But if you show that for a second, it'll be obvious who you are. In playtesting we went through a string of games when the vampires lost every time, because the humans had gotten good enough to identify that visible relief when you first see the vampire card.

So, you have to act uncertain. Try to pretend you're as helpless and terrified as everybody else in the game. All the while you're desperately trying not to smirk.

It takes about ten minutes for a round, and you need exactly 3 or 6 players. If you ever play it, send me a comment, I'd love to hear how it went.
