Skulls and Pumpkins

Easy Components Note: You can use a standard deck of cards instead of the ones in the file to get started right away!

It’s that spooky time of year again where skulls and pumpkins are around every corner! Do you have what it takes to to be crowned Halloween Royalty?

Winning the Game

First player to win 5 rounds will be crowned Halloween Royalty! In the case where a player is unable to win 5 rounds, the player with the most rounds won will be crowned Defacto Halloween Royalty! If the game is still a tie, then it's a tie and both players turn into candy corn.

How to Play

1. Each player chooses one card and places it face down in front of them.
2. Each player reveals the card at the same time.
3. The player with the winning card wins the round.
4. Discard the played cards in their own respective discard piles face up, one for each player.

The Winning Card

1. If the cards share the same suit (i.e. skull vs skull or pumpkin vs pumpkin), the highest card wins.
2. If the cards are of different suits, the lowest card wins.
3. If the cards are the same, the round is a draw. Discard these cards.
