Game Play

The Night Stalkers is played over many turns. During each turn, players pick one of six eligible action cards to play from a slot numbered between six and down to one. Once played, the card moves to the last slot and all other cards slide to the left. The lower numbered slots enable more actions to be taken with a single card. These action cards can become upgraded during the course of the game to help each player carry out their plan of capture. Cards and dice combine to represent your health and stamina.

The Night Stalker also incorporates a catch up mechanic that allows the players to get closer to an even playing field with their Night Stalker. As you travel from one location to the next, keep an eye on the time as the Night Stalkers become more aggressive at night. The clock’s hands will reveal the Night Stalker’s actions and adds another layer of unpredictability to your adversary.
