## Description
In Hawkins, Indiana, the ominous Mind Flayer is spreading terror, turning people into its perverse minions. Each player starts with a Stranger Things character—Eleven, Dustin, or even the Mind Flayer itself—and receives a card revealing whether you’re fully sane or already possessed. The game unfolds in quick turns where the Sane team must resist the Mind Flayer’s attacks, while the Possessed try to spread influence and eliminate the heroes. The core mechanic? Hidden roles! You never know who’s truly on your side, so suspicion and bluffing are key. On your turn, you draw a card and decide whether to help, hinder, or switch another player’s team—all in 20 minutes of pure adrenaline. If at the end at least one Sane remains, the heroes win; otherwise the Possessed prevail. It’s perfect for fans of parties, 4–10 players, and a fast yet tense challenge. The aesthetic mirrors the show with stylized cards and tokens, and the horror‑friendship theme makes each game unique. If you love Stranger Things or just want a bluffing and deduction game with friends, this title will keep you on the edge of your seat and your mind racing about who’s who.
