About the Game

You wake up trapped in a barn, forced into a deadly game of survival. You and three others sit around a table, facing a brutal card game where every mistake brings the saw in front of you closer. Win, and it moves away. Lose, and it inches closer to death!

A strategic multiplayer card game where every decision brings you closer to life or death. Predict, adapt, and outplay your opponents to ensure survival.

Players predict how many hands they will win each round. The total bids cannot match the number of cards in play. You can only bid zero once per full cycle (5-4-3-2-1).

Follow suit or play a trump card to take the trick. The highest card of the lead suit wins—unless a trump card is played. Every card you play could save you… or seal your fate.

Hit your bid? Your saw moves away from you. Miss your bid? Your saw moves closer to your throat. If no one meets their bid, the saws remain still—but they never stop waiting. One by one, the saws will claim their victims. The last survivor wins.
