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 or 100 (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). There were four secrets, but I don't remember what they were now.
