Mantis Falls is a thrilling strategy game designed for 2-3 players, where you must survive the night and escape the mob-ruled town of Mantis Falls in the 1940s. The game combines hand-building and tactical card play with deduction and cooperation, but beware, there may be a hidden assassin among you.
As you make concealed moves and develop hidden plans, you’ll need to have thorough conversations with your fellow players to discuss tactics, defend choices, and bluff to protect your secrets. The game presents secret “unseen” events and double-edged action cards, which stir confusion and degrade confidence, making it a unique and tense game experience.
Throughout the game, you’ll seek allies, acquire tools, and become encumbered by grave afflictions. Witnesses and assassins alike will need to tread the line between the value of teamwork and a preparation to kill. Mantis Falls is a cooperative game that is only really cooperative sometimes, meant to draw you into the characters’ horrifying night and make you feel the profound power, and danger, that can come from our ability to trust.
