Sidenote
In the explanation of the rules, the term Hero is repeatedly used to refer to a status in the game - of course, Hero should be replaced by Heroine when applicable. Je m'excuse.
About the Feast deck
The Feast deck is based on the horror movie Feast, a gory and slightly immature flick with a genius concept to it. It's sure to entertain if you like horror movies. Anyway, the introduction of the characters gave me a good idea (at least, I think it's good) for a card game. Of course, there are plenty of horror movie card games to go around, commercially even, but I have some time left and I felt like doing something like this!
If you were looking for a game with a feast or a food concept to it, sadly, this is quite the opposite. Then again, you can still make it if you want!
Story behind Feast
In the movie Feast, a collection of decidedly random people visit a bar in the middle of nowhere on this fateful night. Most characters don't know each other, although several characters are related in one way or another. None of their names are revealed, so they are addressed by their social status, job or nickname (example: Town Jackass, Bartender, Marine).
At some time during the night, one person, splashed with blood, comes storming in. This person is the Hero, whom has come to warn the people in the bar of four hideous monsters that follow closely behind him. And sure enough, a second after the Hero finishes telling the bargoers that he knows very little except that they're hideous, murderous and out to eat people, the monsters charge at the building and make their first victim. This adds more credibility to the Hero's story, so the windows are shut, locked and secured, the doors are barred and any other plausible entrance is blocked as far as the stuff in the bar allows it. That means the monsters are locked out, and of course the bargoers are locked in...
In the movie, the story unfolds much like this card game adaptation could unfold, but of course, in the card game anything could happen, so the (happy?) ending is really up to you.
What You Need
In order to play a game of Feast, you need a flat surface like a table, a deck of Feast cards (when they're available), a six-sided die and a token of some sort to designate which player is the Hero (a scrap of paper works just fine).
Getting Started
(For more information on the exact meaning of these different types of cards, view the rules below.)
Firstly, separate the dark blue Character cards from the rest of the cards. Shuffle these cards, and give every player two of these, face-down, for them to view and hold in their hands. Subsequently, play eight Character cards face-up in the middle of the playing field.
Secondly, every player must place one of their newly received Character cards face-up in front of them. They will begin play as that character, so the advantages and disadvantages of that character apply to the owner.
Thirdly, the player with the highest Entry Number on their Character Card receives the Hero token. The Entry Number is the number in the upper-right corner.
Fourthly, combine the rest of the Character cards with the other cards and shuffle again. Now deal three cards to each player from this combined stack. If a player receives a green Attack! card, they must put this card at the bottom of the deck (not randomly in the deck) and draw a new card from the top. By repeating this as often as necessary, every player now ends up with four cards in his/her hand, with at least one Character card and no Attack! cards.
Lastly, every player rolls the die and the player with the highest roll gets to go first. (Of course, in the event of a tie the remaining players roll again.) From there, turns proceed clockwise.
How to Play
The Feast deck consists of five types of cards. These are the types of cards, followed by their color and their general use:
Character Cards - Dark Blue - Represent a character present in the Bar. Used to give players and nameless people an identity.
Attack! Cards - Slime Green - Represent a creature attacking the Bar or specific players. Used to, well, kill players and such.
Weapon Cards - Light Blue - Represent objects that can be used as weapons. Used to defend yourself against attacks.
Event Cards - Dark Red - Represent all sorts of events. Used to help fight attacks, bother other players or any other thing entirely.
Escape Cards - Safety Orange - Represent ways for players to flee the bar. Used to leave the game, and, if possible, by doing so, win it.
Feast is played in turns. Every turn consists of three phases
