1978: The Night THEY Came Home is a 1-2 player horror roleplaying game telling the story of a fateful showdown between Survivor (a clever and resilient person caught up in horrifying circumstances) and Slasher (a legendary force of evil). Using a deck of poker cards, dual rule books, varied resources, and shared play space, players will recount the events of a forsaken Halloween, zooming closer into the haunting folklore of a small Midwestern town and its inhabitants, and culminating in a violent battle for survival.

1978 includes:

• Two unique rulebooks, one for the Slasher and one for the Survivor. Learn the game together smoothly without getting lost in unnecessary information or needing to pass it back and forth constantly.
• Playmat featuring the fated house where our face-off takes place, upload it to your vtt of choice

• Custom poker deck for further immersion, print and play or upload to your virtual tabletop

all beautifully and horrifically illustrated by Black Coffiend.
