Last night, Las Vegas. Your goal was to make it out ahead, but after you've seen what this city is all about, your goal has shifted to making it out alive. Everyone is out to get you. The sneaky dealer, the wide-eyed vampires, the exclusive nightclub and dangerous streets. Survive the night to win. Nytelyfe Solitaire includes 5 setting cards and a rulebook. The player needs to supply a standard 52-card deck to play. Each round, the player will draw 5 cards and decides which faction to give that card to before drawing the next. Then they score the round based on the rules for each faction. the game ends when the (easy/medium/hard) lose condition is met, or if 50 cards are played, then the player survives the night and wins. A score is then determined, with 20 points being a perfect score. Released in the January 2020 Board Game of the Month Club $5+ package.
