Words to Die By, described as this year’s must-have horror party game, opens its crowdfunding campaign on April 1. Balancing theatrical flair with dark humor, this comedic card game plunges players into dramatic death scenes filled with unexpected twists.

Each round features a “Director” who picks a Death Scene card, while others submit creative Dying Words. The Director then adds a twist—think pirate accents or slow motion—before everyone acts out their demise.
