Read the full game description

One to four players explore Misfortune Lane in search of weapons and lucky items. Avoid angry adults and monster traps or press your luck and risk losing your precious items. Spend your time wisely, as you only have 6 rounds before coming face to face with the monster. This monster will try to distract you and weaken your deck until the sun sets. During the Night, you’ll use your gathered weapons and lucky items to break the curse and save the town! The one versus many format allows one player to control this mysterious monster. As the monster you only have one goal: protect the curse. During the Day, litter the town with bad luck and lure other players to locations that contain useless weapons. During the Night, reveal your identity and unleash your true power! Survive these 7 rounds and the curse over Misfortune Lane will remain unbroken. ? —description from the publisher
