What's in the Box
The game contains a deck of skeleton cards and a couch board. Each card shows a skeleton and a number that corresponds to a seat on the couch. Setup is minimal – just shuffle and deal.
How the Game Plays
Players take turns drawing and playing cards. To place a skeleton on the couch, the card's number must match an empty seat. If you can't play, you pass. The first to fill all their seats wins. The number-matching rule is simple enough that you can start playing within a minute of opening the box.
