About the game
2 solo games packaged in 1 box! Hunted: Transylvania is a card-only survival game that features an expanded yet streamlined version of the Hunted system. As you work your way through the deck, you'll encounter a slew of classic monsters, from the Wolf Man to Frankenstein’s monster, all while rescuing survivors, salvaging what weapons you can, and, of course, trying not to make too much noise. Survive long enough to make it through the deck twice to get to the finale, where you’ll face off against one of multiple different sets of big bads, such as the infamous Count Dracula and his devoted brides. But if your health ever goes to zero, you'll just be another headstone in the Transylvania graveyard. Escape from Route 52 is a rogue-like card game where you have to escape a dangerous and haunted road. The deck consists of 52 cards, each not only representing the situations and threats along the road, but also the weapons and equipment needed to deal with them. Each round, you'll deal with 4 cards at a time in search of the resources necessary to fix your truck, leave the hateful road in the rearview, and win the game. But if your health ever goes to zero, you'll just be another victim of Route 52.
