YOU are the Maniac! transforms the player into the role of the Maniac. Slash your way through a 3 part film franchise, complete with a familiar cast of characters and all of the slasher film stereotypes we hold dear to our bloodthirsty hearts. In each film, 13 Victims are lined up, including one Final Girl. Players take turns playing Maniac cards, capturing Victims and adding them to their killer Collection. At the end of the third movie, the Maniac with the most points wins. Gameplay is fast-paced with a surprising mix of strategy and dark humor.
