Camp Blood: The Card Game

UPDATED GAME RULES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure everyone who has seen Friday the 13th part 6 have wished they could actually play the card game that was mentioned in the movie.

I know Ive always wanted to play the game, but unfortunately it doesn't actually exist.....until now, well...until about 5 years ago when I first came up with the game.

If anyone knows how I can get into contact with the director of part 6 let me know, Id love to be able to send this to him.


NOTE: The only way to really play this game is to have two decks of the same type of cards, the extra face cards (see below) have to be double sided, if not then they cant really be used as suspense cards (see below) because you will know which card is Jason, wound Jason, or lose points card. Other then getting special cards made, which I have, the best choice would be to tape or glue two face cards together.

To make special cards go here, costs about $15 including shipping
www.artscow.com
Or go to just about any store and buy two decks of cards for about $5 a pack


Things needed for game:

1. A Full Deck of Cards (Including Jokers)
2. Extra deck (see below)



CARD DETAILS:

1. The numbered cards (ones with cabins) are the Point Cards.
2. The Jack of Spades (wounded by Jason) serves as the Jason Card.
3. The two Jokers (ones with a dork) are the Safety Cards.
4. The King of Hearts, the Queen of Hearts and King of Spades are the player cards (ones with counselors).
5. One face card (lose points) takes away points
6. The rest of the face cards (double sided) serve as the Suspense Cards.
7. The Ace of Diamonds (wound Jason) is a Wound Jason card.


SET UP:

1. Remove the King and Queen of Hearts and the King of Spades from the deck, set them aside, these are the player cards.

2. The rest of the cards, including the game cards (Jack of Spades/Jason, Ace of Diamonds/wound Jason) can be left in the deck along with the rest of the face cards.

3. The only cards that should show their face are the numbered cards, the game cards and the double sided (suspense cards) should be face down. Note: This is assuming that you either have special game cards or you have followed the suggestion above concerning gluing face cards together.

4. Leave in the Jokers.

5. Shuffle the deck (minus player cards)

6. After you have shuffled them you may deal out the cards into three piles. (each now consisting of 17 cards)

7 Take the player cards (face down) and add them to the three piles, face cards "face down" number cards "face up"

8. Shuffle each pile



INSTRUCTIONS:

After all of the cards have been dealt out each player will take their pile and set them out in front of them.

1. Starting from the top place out the cards, one atop of the other in a straight line before you (face cards facing down, number cards face up)

2. The player with the most cards facing down (which might mean that he is serious trouble) should go last. And so on.

3. First the players add up the total of points that they have received (official score cards coming soon )

4. First player (with least amount of down turned/suspense cards) now turns over the face cards, without disturbing the order that they are in. And so on


PLAYING THE GAME:

5. For instruction sake, lets say that the first player turns over their cards and finds the Jason card, this means that the player has received a wound from Jason's machete (See exception below).

(Note: There are two ways to escape attack by Jason:

a. To find a Safety card "Joker" in the pile, regardless of where the Joker may be within that pile. (as we all know assholes and dorks are always the first to go)

b. To avoid Jason completely. Jason always sneaks up on his victims, this means that the Jason card must appear before the player card (in ascending order) for the player to be injured by Jason. Otherwise "Your in serious trouble Dude!". Any contact with Jason Voorhees results in the lose of 20 points (could possible be set higher). Even if the Jason card comes after the Player card (in descending order) "Which means your safe from being wounded" there is still a severe penalty for coming into contact with Jason.

6. If you have an Ace of Diamonds (wound Jason card) in your deck it means that you have succeeded in wounding Jason.
Note 1: But only if the Jason card comes before (ascending order)the Player card. Possession of this card does not prevent you from being wounded by Jason however.
Note 2: A Joker card "Safety Card" cancels out the wound Jason card. The rule above regarding the Joker/safety card applies here also.

7. The appearance of a "Lose points" card results in the loss of 100 points in a players overall score (each time this occurs)

Note: Make sure to write down any and all score and loss of points penalties as you go along



ENDING THE GAME

There are three ways for the game to end:

a. Jason receives three wounds and dies; in this case the game ends and the player with the most points wins.

b. Only one person remains. (People are killed by receiving three wounds)

c. A player reaches the point limit (Lets say 13,000 points).

(Notes: When someone dies the remaining two players must continue until one of the above goals is reached. Each of the surviving players receives 20 extra points. 3 piles of cards (cabins) should remain in play, the unused pile serving as a possible hiding place for Jason.)

OBJECT OF THE GAME:

1. Get the most points.
2. DON'T DIE!

I would add on "Kill Jason" but everyone knows you cant stop Jason Voorhees...............

I got some images off the net, edited and added them to the card examples. Hopefully they will produce them

Just need to play a round to see if it all works

Here they are:

[HNT]

Let me know what happens when you play the game. I kind of understand what you are saying, but I am not entirely sure I understand what a player does on their turn

[abraxas]

Yeah its been a long time since I checked the rules, Ill be redoing them, I know there are at least 3 mistakes, the lose points card is a new edition. Hopefully someone here will give me some ideas on what else could be added to the game to make it better.

I just took the basic idea as it was explained in part 6, the only detail given was that the object was to see which cabin Jason was in, everything else I came up with myself.

Ill probably make a video for it, on how to play

[abraxas]

I just simplified and updated the official rules for the Camp Blood card game

[abraxas]

Just updated the player cards

[The Walking Dude]

I've always wondered myself how the game goes.

I've got this deck - which would be perfect to play with

[CT]

Awesome, that would work. What are the other pictures on that deck besides Jason?

[The Walking Dude]

all the various death scenes and dead bodies from the series and posters from the movies.

Also available are Dawn of the Dead and A Nightmare on Elm st decks.

[abraxas]

Yeah I thought about using those, but it wouldn't work well, the whole idea is for there to be only one Jason card, in order for the rules to work, I couldn't come up with any rules that would have allowed me to use those cards. Certainly would have been a lot easier, perhaps.

[The Walking Dude]

After reading the rules closer I can see why. You could still use the Joker cards as Jason though.

[abraxas]

If there was one for the real Jason and the fake Jason (part5) then I might
