It is time again for the annual Skull Manor Costume Ball! Skull Manor is an old estate in the heart of Spider City known for its captivating architecture, mysterious ambiance and unspeakable history. The townspeople have been scurrying about the streets to get ready for the big night of great food, inspiring conversations and, of course, outrageous gossip. This has been a daunting year of dissension and discord among many of the residents of Spider City. Rumors of blackmail, thievery, and scandalous controversies have been circulating throughout the town’s grapevines. We all hope everybody can put aside their differences for a night of fun. If not, there may be misfortune on the horizon. This is where your story begins.

This game will accommodate 45 unique players by using the main game and all three expansion packs. You can also expand the game to over 225 players by adding duplicate players to the teams as described below (it does require you purchase all expansion packs, as well).  We will add to your kit in teams of 10 duplicate players. Therefore, if you order 30 duplicate players, you'll receive 10 Vikings, 10 Contortionists, and 10 Citizens on Patrol.
