About the game
A simple variant of the game Spoons (as if Spoons weren't simple enough). Plastic spiders are put in the center of the table (one less than the number of players). Each player is given a scoreboard and four tokens to put in it. Each player is then dealt a stack of cards face-down in front of them. Each turn the players simultaneously turn over the top card from their stack. If any of the turned-over cards shows a skeleton, the players yell "Goosebumps" and grab one of the spiders from the center of the table. The player who didn't get a skeleton must turn in one of their tokens. Play then continues. The game ends when one player has discarded their last token, at which time the player with the most tokens remaining is the winner.
