"Suburban Slasher is the classic humorous card game of
b-movie horror, innocent victims and psychotic killers. You
play one of a number of different killers and hunt down and
slaughter typical horror movie characters, racking up points
with every kill. You compete with other players who are also
killers to see who can get the most and the best victims.
Each killer has special interests and special abilities. Sound
like fun? There's a catch. Sometimes the victims have the
gall to fight back. You have to be quick, clever and tough
to survive when a cheerleader picks up a chainsaw and heads
out for revenge!" |
