Grab your friends! Scrounge some junk from the room, deal yourself three lives, and see if you can make it to the end of the deck.All you have to do is not lose.
HOW TO PLAY. Flip a card. It's a threat. Survive it by paying its cost out of your pool of scavenged objects, or take the hit and lose a life instead. Some threats are hunters, and hunters can be sealed for good: that scores a seal and the room gives two objects back. Seal three and walk out clean. Two Aces or three lost lives and you don't. Your top life card is your patron, and threats of its suit cost you one less.
