SLAIN
SLAIN is a two player trick-taking card game where you hold your hand of cards backwards and communicate silently with your partner to decide what cards to play. You're monster slayers, on a suicide mission to use sword and spell to destroy those who would destroy you. The Basic Rules of SLAIN are the core experience of the game. Once you've grown tired of them, read the Advanced Rules, a selection of nine optional rules that can be used in any combination to modify your experience. These include rules for expanding to four players, playing a hidden roles game, and setting cards on fire.
