Description

In the early 1900s, an old house forgotten for 20 years has been discovered by a group of supernatural investigators. Following rumors of the haunting, they come to the house and begin to explore. As the daylight fades they make for the exit, but they are locked in! What’s more, an evil spirit has possessed one of them, but no one knows who. Desperately, they scramble to uncover the secret of the house before time runs out, wary all the while that they can trust no one. Welcome to Possessed, a fast-paced game of exploration, supernatural forces, and treachery. Can you survive the night?

Players take turns drawing cards from the house deck, representing the rooms they are searching. Clue cards will be claimed as points at the end of the game, and you may trade these with other players to make sets worth additional points. However, should you draw too many Ghosts or Despair in one round, you risk losing those points. You must decide whether to hide from the Ghosts and drop out of the round, or push your luck and risk losing it all.

At some point in the game, the Possessed will reveal who they are. From now on they will attempt to thwart the investigators using the cards they have accumulated throughout the game. Can the investigators collect enough clues before three rounds are up? Or will they be overwhelmed by the Possessed and the terrors of the haunted mansion?
