Blackwood Manor-A Creepy Exploration of the Macabre

I decided I would just decide on the game theme I would do ahead of time cause I already knew it was the idea I wanted to do no matter what.

1. It would be 3-4 players, each playing as young goth/macabre/witch girls similar to Wednesday Addams or Ashley from the Warioware series.

2. The object of the game is to collect things such as spiders, raven skulls, spell books, torture devices or even a cursed teddy bear. Each will give you points for discovering them when you land on a plaything tile. 

3. The goal of the game is to find the Phantom lover's Tome. There are also trap tiles on the board that will take away a random treasure or send you back a few spaces. To get into the Library to find the Tome, you must first find the Blackwood Key, which unlike the treasures, is found with in a trap. This adds a different dynamic because you have to fall into a trap to win the game. 

4.You lose the game when you lose you character's token possession, which is lost when you lose all collected playthings and your randomly assigned plaything which is given to you at the beginning of the game. 

5. You roll of a d6 die to move between 1 and 6 spaces, and can choose to land on a trap tile if you arrive at one before the end of your move. Trap tiles may also include more valuable playthings but you may pay a price in movement speed or direction, or you may not even find a plaything and lose an existing one. 

6. Game lasts about 20 minutes but can be quicker if a key is found early on and they get to the library without losing their playthings and character token. However, if you find it too early and try to enter the library, you risk falling into one too many traps and losing. 

7. Each plaything has a value and if a player has a higher value than the Tome finding player, they may win despite not finding the Tome. This is one tactic of winning without a key. 

• Playthings found on plaything tiles are worth between 10-15 points
• Trap Playthings are worth 30 points
• The Tome is worth 75 points

8. There are 4 characters with different visual appeals and non-modifying possessions.
