Description

Bad Samaritans is a comic book style card game for people with the worst intentions. The game is best played with three to five players and is quite a brutal deception game. The Bad Samaritans are a bunch of outlaws, each of them recruited by The Chimp to join the team and battle each other in a twisted attempt to save the world. The game consists of two dice and three decks of cards; characters, spells&powers, and scenarios. The goal of the game is to defeat the scenarios which can be anything ranging from an alien invasion to helping a sexy lady with car trouble or just dealing with overflowing toilets—beating these, scores you victory points. If you gain enough victory points, you win! But be careful, because the other Bad Samaritans won't let you win without a fight. With special powers and spells, they will do anything to thwart your victory. The cards perform unique actions which can create roulette like situations and death. Yes, in this game, you can actually die! Dying is a big part of the game. When someone dies, they start again with a new character, and they remove their powers&spells. The dice in the game get rolled for random occurrences and checks. Sometimes you'll need to throw a dice to survive. —description from the designer
