Slasher: Killer Cut Edition puts you in the killer's shoes! This free print-and-play game lets you see if you have what it takes to become the next horror icon, like Jason Voorhees, or if you'll get caught by the cops before your reign of terror truly begins. Things aren't simple: victims can fight back, news media might alert more police to your presence, and household weapons can either help or hinder you. The game board is constructed from a deck of cards, with dice and rules driving the action. You can choose to cut the lights, sever phone lines, or directly confront victims. When things don't go according to plan, you'll need to deal with the police, potential survivor types, and other complications. Will you spend a turn rolling for a better weapon or rush in to dispatch foes? The choice is yours! The game offers a significant amount of player agency. Additionally, you earn Evil Points, which can be used for classic horror movie escapes, like surviving gunfire unscathed. And like any good slasher, a certain dice roll can unleash your character's rage, amplifying the horror. You get to create your own killer within the rules and see how long you can cause mayhem. This edition is the culmination of 8 years of development, featuring clearer, more concise rules for a faster, more dynamic experience, including 2-player variants and an official character sheet. ## FAQ ### How many players can play Slasher: Killer Cut Edition?
