About the game
La Casa delle Mannaie ('The House of Cleavers') is a fast-paced, treacherous horror game for 3-7 players. You're greedy adventurers breaking into the Crin Manor - site of a 1970s massacre - hunting for the cursed gold coins of its former owner. But beware: the house's curse gradually erodes everyone's sanity, turning friends into bloodthirsty enemies. Each round features simultaneous action selection - attack, defend, collect treasure or try to keep your wits. Unique one-time abilities can swing the game, but use them wisely! Three ways to win: be the last survivor, escape with your sanity intact, or end the 7th round with the most coins and least wounds. In 30 minutes, someone will leave rich... or no one will leave alive.
