Instead of following the standard card game rules, you have over 25 house rules that change the game each round. The deck is hybrid: a standard 52-card deck plus 25 original cards that bring insane effects, like sacrificing cards to Cthulhu or losing points just for saying "fish." The goal is to climb the ladder, but the rules can make you slide back, sacrifice points, or even alter the ladder’s structure. Each round can be entirely different: the first you collect tricks, the next you sacrifice cards, the next you lose points for forbidden words. The game demands attention, as rules shift quickly and you must remember them all. It’s ideal for 3‑to‑6 players who enjoy Lovecraftian themes, ladder mechanics, and an unpredictable game environment. Playtime ranges from 20 to 40 minutes, making it perfect for quick sessions with plenty of tension. The components are simple: standard cards, original cards, and a ladder board that can be drawn on paper. If you enjoy games that test your memory and patience, and you don’t mind losing your sanity, Daifugō is a choice for those looking for something out of the ordinary. ## FAQ ### How many players can play?
