SLUGGISH TAKEOVER

Trick or treat or get SLUGGED!

The Mind Slugs have landed, and world domination is just a few steps away! Unfortunately, their invasion plan has one tiny flaw: They assumed that older hosts would be more powerful. Now the Master Slug and his two Minions are trapped in three painfully slow senior bodies. Global conquest? More like a trip to the bathroom.

But luckily, it's Halloween! The streets are full of energetic kids, dressed up in costumes and hunting for their favorite candy. Perfect new Vessels for the Slugs!

In Sluggish Takeover, a fast-paced social deduction card game for 2–4 players, you must guide six trick-or-treaters to the right doors, help them find their favorite sweets, and get them safely home. There's just one tiny problem: One of you has already been SLUGGED!

Each player knows which Door cards they have, but not their exact positions. On your turn, you must send a kid to another player's door. Discuss, bluff, mislead, and try to figure out where the candy is hiding — and where the Slugs are waiting!

The Good Team must save four kids or defeat both Minion Slugs. Meanwhile, the secret Evil Player tries to infect two kids or lure the mysterious Chosen One into the clutches of the Master Slug.

18 cards. 5–10 minutes. One secret traitor. Oh, and did I mention that the Evil Player might change during the game?

Good luck trusting anybody and LET THE SLUGGISH TAKEOVER BEGIN!
