You're the world's mightiest heroes, yet a bit... deceased. Sitting in Valhalla, you recall your glorious past deeds. Share heroic tales with peers, compare legacies, and find out who among you was the greatest by seeing how each hero met their end. 'And That's How I Died' is a thrilling light set - collection card game filled with tall tales and exciting adventures. You play as the spirit of a fallen Viking warrior in Valhalla. Each turn, form an Adventure by playing 3 cards: Beginning, Middle, and End. You can pick these cards from your 6 - card hand or the Pool on the table. Adventure cards earn you Glory points and offer powerful effects. If all 3 cards are the same color, it's a Legendary Adventure worth double points! Each adventure moves you closer to 'death', represented by Damage points. Reach 15 or more Damage, and you're out of the game. But here, dying isn't bad - when you 'die', you score all your Glory points. When all players are 'dead', the one with the most Glory points wins and becomes the greatest Viking warrior ever! Key features include new stories every game, only 5 minutes per player, different victory paths, reverse player elimination, and the unique concept of 'trying to kill yourself'. It's for 2 - 5 players, takes 15 - 45 minutes, and is suitable for ages 10 and up. The game includes 90 Adventure Cards, 5 Instruction Cards, 10 Achievement Cards, 1 Rule Book, and offers 27,000 possible combos!
To play And That's How I Died, first, gather 2 to 5 players who are 10 years old or above. Shuffle all the cards and deal 6 Adventure Cards to each player. Place the remaining Adventure Cards in the middle of the table as the Pool. Each turn, you'll create an Adventure by choosing a Beginning, Middle, and End card from your hand or the Pool. Try to make Legendary Adventures by using cards of the same color to get double Glory points. Keep an eye on your Damage points; once you reach 15 or more, your game is over, but you'll score all your Glory points. When all players are 'dead', count the Glory points, and the one with the most wins. Remember to handle the cards gently to keep them in good condition. Store the cards in a dry place to prevent damage. Enjoy the game and have fun sharing those Viking tales!
