How to Play The Death Deck

 

1. Gather Your Family & Friends

You like each other already, so this part should be pretty easy.

2. Open The Deck

We suggest you read the instructions first but feel free to jump right in or create your own unique way to play.

3. Play The Game

You’ll find out things about your friends and loved ones that you never knew. You might even discover some things about yourself.

4. Learn Something Very Important

We never seem to make the time to talk to each other about the important stuff…like our final wishes. It’s tough subject matter, we know, but by playing The Death Deck you’ll open these discussions and realize it’s not that scary after all.
