Read the full game description

A group of kids have wandered into your house to spend the night. Dawn will not come soon enough to save them, the only question that remains is which group of monsters will terrorize them the most. In "Bump In The Night" 2-6 players each play a group of six monsters that they will use to terrorize the kids in the haunted house. If enough terror is generated in a person or if a person is forced to flee the house, the player claims the person for a point. Other points can be gained through special bonus cards as well. The first player to five points on their turn wins the game.
