Game Overview
The Grim Gamble is a first-person, local multiplayer board game for 1 to 4 players.
Outsmart your opponents, read their intentions, and rely on a bit of luck to survive a deadly game of life and death.
Story
As darkness falls, four chosen gamblers gather in a shadowy arena.
The air is thick with decadence, pleasure—and madness.
The moment you sit at the table, your wrists are locked into cold steel restraints.
Running down the center is the grotesque Saw Train, a mechanical executioner that demands a “payment” from the loser—by severing their hand.
All you have are your wits, your instincts, and a dash of luck.
This is a card battle where your life is on the line.
“Welcome to The Grim Gamble.”
Game Rule
How to Play – “MAX OUT”
Each player is dealt one card—but you can’t see your own.
Instead, you must observe everyone else’s cards and guess:
“What’s the total value of all the cards?”
Catch the lies, push the limit, and say the highest number you can without going over.
You only get three chances.
Lose three games, and it’s game over.
How to Play – “FULL BODY”
Each player is dealt 4 cards.
There are three types of cards: Head, Arms, and Legs.
Players take turns playing one card at a time until a total of 8 cards are stacked in the center.
The first card you play is placed face up; the second card is placed face down.
Cards are then revealed from the top of the stack one by one.
The player who exactly completes a Full Body—1 Head, 2 Arms, and 2 Legs—wins.
After seeing the first face-up card, try to complete the Full Body on your turn!
