It's a card game in which you battle other players using Zombies, Werewolves, and Vampires to be the last survivor and escape! Players take turns either drawing a card from the deck or attacking another player. Drawing a card can get you useful items to Empower your attack, or help you Repel an attack. You may also gain more Monsters to use in battle. But watch out! There's cards that will Condemn your Monsters too, and you'll have to discard part of your Monster horde. You may also find extra Protection to fortify your army, or a rogue Thief to help you plunder cards from an opponent. Battles are decided with a roll of the dice - more torches on your roll means you defeated those Monsters! When all the cards in the draw pile are gone, then begins Armageddon. You MUST attack on your turn during Armageddon, until there is only one player left alive. He is the one who Escapes the Marshlands! Will it be you? —description from the designer
