"Think about the most cutthroat games you know, the ones that threaten to tear apart even the oldest and closest of friends. Now add weapons to that game and you are getting a little bit closer to the intensity and thrills of Slay Your Friends." Learning to Slay could not be any easier. To get started: shuffle the deck and then place eight hero cards face down on the table so that each player can select one at random and then replace the remaining hero cards in the box deal seven cards to each player and then flip a coin or roll a die (or you could arm wrestle) to determine who goes first, each player then drawing one card on their turn, the board going clockwise and each player starting with 25 health points, which corresponds to the health tracker and health token flip over the top card and start the discard pile, where players will place cards once they are played That's all there is to it! There is a range of actions and outcomes with the cards, and once a single hero remains, the game is over. You can play with or without the hero cards. Have no mercy – and Slay Your Friends. All retail copies of Slay Your Friends includes the Slay Your Enemies expansion pack. Learning to Slay could not be any easier.
