Who’s safe when there are cannibals hiding among you? That’s the question at the heart of this fast-paced game of social deduction in which cannibals and pioneers face off in a fight for survival. Set in the winter of 1846, players are members of the ill-fated Donner Party wagon train, stranded atop a mountain with no food. Who will avoid becoming tonight’s dinner and make it off the mountain alive? And who are the suspicious scoundrels hungry for human flesh? Rowdy, outrageous, and full of playful deception, this party game packs a delightfully wicked twist!

Review

"On a recent beach vacation, I brought about a dozen games, representing a variety of mechanics. Donner Dinner Party was, by far, one of the most played games. We all had a blast trying to work out who the Cannibals were in our midst. We would play over and over and over, night after night...With Donner Dinner Party's great artwork, game-changing Supply Cards, Hunting Cards, and a couple of neat variants, it's definitely a game worth checking out."

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a game you could play with people in different locations over video if everyone has their own box set
Answer:	Tl;dr it would be hard but could be done. It would be nearly impossible to play this game with people in different locations. This game requires certain people to be one role and some to be the other which would be hard to facilitate and verify using different sets. Every member also is supposed to add a card at random, these are the cards that you play each round, and that would also be very hard to verify and keep random. The only way that I could see this being played remotely is if someone was like a "game master" and sat out of the game and handled everyone's cards. That way they could select the other members roles and show them their cards that they are able to play, it would be hard work but could be done if you were that dedicated. Hope this helped.
Question:	Would this be a good game for college age 20 somethings
Answer:	Yes, I think 20 year olds can enjoy this game.
Question:	Is this just like the one night werewolf games only with cannibals
Answer:	No. This spans a few turns with seven or eight people and its kind of fun. I don't know about the werewolf games.
Question:	Can you play this game with 3 people or do you a minimum of 4 people to play this game
Answer:	Ideally, you need at least 4 people to play, and the more that play makes it a really fun and strategic game. We love it!

Object

If you’re a Pioneer, hunt for food to survive and eliminate the Cannibals from the party. If you’re a Cannibal, eat the Pioneers one by one until they no longer outnumber you. Then rise up and eat the rest.

A conversation with the game creators, Forrest-Pruzan Creative

Q: Why cannibals?

A: The tension and desperation of the historical event is what we find compelling. Just like any great film or piece of entertainment, a great game integrates moments of peril. There were people in the party who withheld from taking part in the cannibalism, so it isn’t necessarily the cannibals, but rather the tension of the relationship between the cannibals and the non-cannibals that we find interesting.

Q: How many rounds of testing did you do for Donner Dinner Party?

A: Hundreds of rounds. Balancing a game with this range of players is a bit of a beast. Thankfully, the game is extremely fun, so playing it over and over again, as well as observing the game being played, always felt fresh.

Q: What has been the best reaction to the game?

A: For such a dire theme, the game sessions tend to be rowdy, loud, and filled with laughter. Also, a majority of the play-testing sessions went an hour over schedule because play-tester groups did not want to stop playing the game.

Frequently Asked Questions When Playing Donner Dinner Party

Q: If someone asks me what I contributed to a Camp Dinner, do I have to tell them what I played?

A: No. In the game of Donner Dinner Party, you can say whatever you want, whenever you want to say it. However, like real life- you can tell the truth or not. It’s your call. It all depends on what team you’re on, and who’s asking the question.

Q: When can I play my Supply Card?

A: Each Supply Card has a different function and a different time in which it can be played. The red text on the card tells you when your particular Supply Card can be played.

Q: If I get the Ol’ Tasty card, should I reveal that I have it?

A: If you’re a Pioneer, you could warn your fellow Pioneers that you have the Ol’ Tasty card, lest they vote to eat you at one point and lose the game for the Pioneers. Then again—if you are a Pioneer with the Ol’ Tasty card and speak up about it, the Cannibals could then conspire to vote to eat you, to force an automatic win for their team. Also, a Cannibal could lie and state they have the Ol’ Tasty card in an attempt to prevent the Pioneers from ever voting to eat them, preserving their existence until the last week, thereby increasing the chances of a Cannibal win. Ol’ Tasty adds a delectable amount of dynamism and unpredictability to the game!

Over 200 Decent Jokes on Worthless Cards!

Decent jokes on worthless cards, posted fresh daily.This was the mission statement dreamed up by two brothers, Beau and Bryan Abbott, when they began a project called Baseball Card Vandals back in 2012.

In the years since their first Tumblr post in 2012, that mission hasn’t really changed at all. Everything else in their lives, though—transformed by the strange power of Sharpies, old cardboard, and the glorious people of the internet—has changed completely. And to understand how Baseball Card Vandals went from a hobby to a website to a book, you have to know how it all started: an obsession with baseball cards.
