![]() ![]() The tombstone box, Grim Reaper token, and true and false coffin cards were a charming touch. Nevertheless, the simplicity did make it easy to play with casual or non-gamers.Īesthetically, the game played around with its theme. For me, this made the game a bit boring as you couldn’t strategise your way to victory. There is no skill or way to work out which death is true or false. The lack of threat takes the jeopardy out of the game and kills the vibe (excuse the pun).įurthermore, the game relies heavily on 50/50 guess work. With less than 6 players, the Grim Reaper isn’t a challenge as it struggles to keep up. Despite the 2-6 player advertisement, this game only plays well with 6 people. Yet, for me, it didn’t quite hit the mark. The gameboard itself is plain black and the cards could be on better stock. The Grim Reaper is a cardboard cut-out, and the player counters are cheap plastic. Additionally, the true and false cards are coffin shaped which is a nice thematic touch. Stupid Deaths is packaged in a tombstone box which buys into its deathly theme. Players must guess their way to the finish line whilst being chased by death. If the Grim Reaper passes the same player again, they are eliminated from the game. If the Grim Reaper catches up to a player, that player will lose their extra life token and move one space forward. ![]() While players are trying to work out if someone died from holding their bladder too long, the Grim Reaper moves closer. If all players guess incorrectly, the reader gets to move forward instead. Players who guessed correctly move one space forward and players who did not stay put. After the reader has read out the card, other players must guess if the death is true or false. Some of the cards detail real life deaths, whereas others are made up. For example, Brahe died from a bladder infection after politeness kept him from using the bathroom during a royal banquet, causing his bladder to rupture. Players take it in turn to read out Stupid Death cards. A player can win by being the first to reach the finish line or by being the last remaining player in the game. The object of the game is simple, players must outrun the Grim Reaper. Players are now ready to outrun the Grim Reaper. Each player gets an extra life token and a true and false card. The 300 Stupid Death cards are then shuffled and placed in the middle of the board. To begin, players will put their counters on the green starting circle and then place the Grim Reaper’s counter on the red circle. As it doesn’t have many elements the setup for this game is super quick and it doesn’t take up space on your table. Inside the box you will find a board, 300 stupid death cards, 4 player counters, true and false cards, a Grim Reaper counter, and extra life tokens. Housed in a tombstone box, with the slogan frightfully funny, it appeals to those with a macabre sense of humour.
