A group of kids have wandered into your house to spend the night. Dawn will not come soon enough to save them, the only question that remains is which group of monsters will terrorize them the most.
In "Bump In The Night" 2-6 players each play a group of six monsters that they will use to terrorize the kids in the haunted house. If enough terror is generated in a person or if a person is forced to flee the house, the player claims the person for a point. Other points can be gained through special bonus cards as well. The first player to five points on their turn wins the game.
2-6 Players Ages 12 and up. 60-90 minutes Bump in the Night features a beautifully illustrated, modular game board, assorted cards, rules, dice, 14 custom sculpted People figures, tokens, AND 36 custom sculpted monster figures. Happily lounging in their haunted house, the monsters wait for new victims to prey upon, waiting to feed on the psychic energies of fear. It is a rare treat when the foolish mortals enter your halls of doom, but luckily today is such a day! A large group of kids has decided to spend the night in your halls, daring each other to face the terrors until the break of dawn.

This contains a helper to keep track of the Scare Level, Free Moves, Terror Level, Girls Claimed, and Monsters Used to Scare of each color. This should reduce confusion and increase visibility of how the turn went. Send suggestions to: kirkham.kurt@gmail.com

INDEXED rules for bump in the night. Combines 1.0 offical, FAQ, and Unoffical rewrite (by Colin) into one extremely quick to access doccument.
I have made this as a living FAQ to help new players learn the game and to put all of the answers to common questions in the forum in one place. This is version 1.0 (1/10/2010) - I will update it as needed.
I had trouble "getting" the rules and this is my way of organising the rulebook, hoping it's easier to understand. the designer has checked these rules and given his consent to the uploading.
