Donner Dinner Party

This edgy and exciting game of deduction pins pioneers against cannibals in a race for survival.

Description

Who’s safe where there are cannibals hiding in the midst?

4-10 players | Ages 12 and up | 30 minutes

That's the question at the heart of this fast-paced game of social deduction, where cannibals and pioneers face off in a fight for survival. Set in the winter of 1846, players are members of the ill-fated Donner Party wagon train, stranded atop a mountain with no food.

Who will avoid becoming tonight’s dinner and make it off the mountain alive? And who are the suspicious scoundrels hungry for human flesh? Rowdy, outrageous, and full of playful deception, Donner Dinner Party is a party game with a delightfully wicked twist!

How to play:

Each round, or 'week,' players pick cards from a deck to 'forage' for food. For pioneers, the goal of each week is to have enough food for every player. For cannibals, the goal is to deplete the food source so one of the players can be the next meal. If everyone eats, everyone lives for another week. If there’s not enough, all the players vote on whom to sacrifice for the group to survive.
