This deck is under construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute - check the talk page to find out more.

There are things out there Man was not meant to know. You're out to find them, but doing so may cost you your sanity.

Special Rules

Sanity

Players begin with a number of sanity points, usually about 50 (use change, dice, paper or whatever to keep up with them). Many cards have a sanity cost to play (their corner value) and recovering sanity is very difficult.

Secrets

There is a special type of thing called a Secret. Secrets don't do anything by themselves, but many other cards require certain Secrets. You can only control one of each type of secret at once.

Card Types

The type of a thing will include any categories it belongs to, followed by any secrets required to play it. For example, the Walking Corpse is listed as Thing - Undead Creature - Magic. This means it counts as both an Undead and a Creature, and requires the Secret of Magic to play. An action will list any secrets required to play it. For example, Summon Tentacle Horror is listed as Action - Summoning, so it requires the Secret of Summoning to play.

Winning and Losing

A player is eliminated when they run out of sanity.

The last sane player is the winner.


Notes

This is a small part of a deck some friends and I had played around with a while ago. I don't have the deck anymore, but I thought someone else might want to use the idea. Also, I don't remember many details about the deck (such as how much a secret costs), and there were four secrets, but I don't remember what they were now.
