Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Cards is a unique 60-card deck featuring characters and themes from Frankenstein alongside a set of monstrously fun games to play with them. Each of the ten card games introduced in the rules book plays like a classic card game for one to four players, so it’s easy to get started and join in on the fun. 

  • Play Solitude, a variant of Solitaire, as you build piles of the four suits that make up the Creature’s story: Broken Hearts, Science, Nature, and Ice.
  • Go into the LAB and try to collect four of a kind quicker than the other players.
  • Heal a Broken Heart, while you play a variation on the classic game of hearts, taking tricks and trying to keep your point count low by avoiding the Broken Hearts suit.
  • Or play one of your favorite card games—the cards can be used just like a regular deck!

Bring some fright to your next game night or casual hang out, with this deck that's fun for bibliophiles and horror fans alike. Everything you need to play is included in the box, with easy-to-understand rules for the included games plus variations so you can play again and again. With their inventive takes on the traditional, these games turn the kitchen table into mini “What if?” dramas with lofty thoughts and horror to spare. Deal the cards and let lighting strike!
