About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever thought about leading a lineage of ghosts in a territorial dispute that has lasted for centuries? In Rest In Peace, you and your opponent take on the roles of heads of ghost families who refuse to lose even an inch of ground. The goal is simple, but the execution is pure strategy: you need to claim the most luxurious mansions and castles in the world to ensure total dominance. To achieve this, you'll use your small but powerful family of 21 cards, ranging from values 1 to 6.
The dynamic is a super agile bidding duel. Each round, a new mansion enters the fray, and you must decide: will you spend your best ghosts now to secure the territory, or will you save them for a bigger fight later? It's a game of bluffing and constant reading of your opponent. Since the deck is limited, hand management is what separates a master of the afterlife from a lost spirit. You need to know the exact moment to go all-in and, perhaps more importantly, when to back down to avoid running out of resources by the end of the game. It's a fast-paced game, perfect for an intense duel between two people looking for something dynamic with a touch of supernatural horror. If you enjoy quick card games where every decision matters, this ghost duel is for you!
