1978: The Night They Came Home

Using a deck of poker cards, dual rule books, varied resources, and shared play space, players will recount the events of a forsaken Halloween, zooming closer into the haunting folklore of a small Midwestern town and its inhabitants, and culminating in a violent battle for survival.

1978 includes:

• Two unique rulebooks, one for the Slasher and one for the Survivor. Learn the game together smoothly without getting lost in unnecessary information or needing to pass it back and forth constantly.
• Printed cloth playmat featuring the fated house where our face-off takes place.
• Custom poker deck for further immersion, making the game ready to play out of the box.
• Trio of metal knife tokens for tracking Resilience, Fear, and Fate on the playmat.
• all beautifully and horrifically illustrated by Black Coffiend and packaged in its cardboard resting place for your entertainment.
• Box with two 5.5x8.5" rulebooks, cloth playmat, deck of 52 custom poker cards, and three metal knife tokens
