Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Sudden Death is a deliriously morbid party game that invites players to act out increasingly absurd death scenarios as your teams try to guess.

Deluxe Set: This set includes 101 cards (3 x 5 inches), a 48-page, full-colour paperback book (3 x 5 inches), and a keepsake magnetic-closure box.

Go Out in a Blaze of Glory: From out-of-control rollercoasters, faulty parachutes, shark attacks, electrocutions, and even choking during a hot dog eating contest, each card prompt offers an amusing opportunity to die spectacularly.

Fully Illustrated Pocket Guide to Death: The full-colour companion book includes all facets of death trivia, from the odds of dying from freak accidents to famous movie deaths and the origins of idioms like "kick the bucket."

Perfect Gift for Edgy Party Game Fans: Those who delight in the macabre will enjoy this game in which another round won't kill you... unless it does.
