There will be six characters in this game.
You are the Hunted.
you steer clear of the Monsters, while hunting your target.
You have a Personality Concept, how your character's personality is.
The rules will be modified to match your personality, and this will be one of the major clues for the ones hunting you.
The Hunted have a set of 4 cards they must use before getting a new set, and every time they use a set of cards, a beacon is let out, letting the nearest monster know of your general location.
A Random number generator will assign your target, and you must learn who your target is while exploring a hostile environment, while also watching out for the other hunters and Monsters.
You are the Monsters, inhuman creatures that hunt the Hunted.
You create a monster based on a Monster Concept, what your monster is closest to. It will act like a Personality Concept, but more extreme.
The Monsters have a set of 9 cards they must use before getting a new set, and when they all use a set of cards once, the environment changes into a monstrous otherworld, which changes when they all use a set of cards once again.
Your goal is simple, kill all the Hunted.
There will be a competitive aspect, with the monster with the most kills getting a bragging rights item for future rounds, and the losers getting an advantage, 2nd place a minor advantage, and 3rd place a major advantage. Ties will result in duels to learn who the winner is.
