Design Details

Cards are sized to fit comfortably in one hand and stack neatly in a pile or bowl. Each category has its own border color (red for movies, purple for monsters, green for actions) so you can play all mixed or separate them by category for themed rounds. The back of each card features a matching Dark Manor pattern so prompts stay hidden until drawn.

Print on cardstock for durability, cut along the trim marks, and pile face-down in a bowl or cauldron. Standard charades rules apply.
