The tourist season is fast approaching! As a good squire, you've come to the Freak Shop to purchase items to fill your mansion. Find the pieces that will leave your visitors with horrific memories! Freak Shop is a card game for 2 to 5 players, ages 8 and up, lasting 20 to 30 minutes. The cards represent the scary things that every good and weird mansion owner should have in his collection. Players start with 4 cards in their Manor (personal space) and cards are available for all in the Shop in the center of the table.
On your turn, you make only one trade, and for that you have two options: Sell at the right price: you trade any number of your cards for a given total value, for any number of cards totaling the same value. Make a good deal: you exchange a series of cards of one value (e.g. one, two, three,... cards of value 2) for as many cards of another unique value (e.g. the same number of cards of value 8). Before the game starts, you randomly draw 3 objectives out of the 12 available. Your goal is to end up with the highest scoring mansion. To do this, you must make the best swaps between the cards in your Mansion and those available in the Freak Shop.
In a game of Freak Shop, you will try to take advantage of the best opportunities available to develop your Mansion, while trying to meet the objectives as best as possible. Bargains will increase your value, and trades at the right price will increase your card count. Since it's all about trading, the fun of the game is knowing which cards to use for trades and which to keep for maximum points!
