About this game
In Backstab: A Macabre Card Game, players battle the demented, disgusting and deranged from macabre characters to diabolical traps! Using action cards, players try to beat each encounter they face. If successful, they get a coin; if not, they lose a card. Players may also confiscate coins from their opponents by attacking them with backstab moves. The first player to rack up 25 cents wins!
Does it fit your group?
- Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
- Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
- Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
