You need to know the three types of cards that are involved with a
game of Thirteen Dead End Drive.
1. Character cards. These are passed out at the beginning of the
game, and are used throughout the entire game. If your character
dies, you lose; it is that simple!
2. Trap cards are used to kill off players. Obviously, this is
something to avoid.
3. Portrait cards. These are used to show who the current favorite
is to inherit the old woman’s money.
Now that you know about the cards, the next step is to learn the
rules of how to play. During each player’s turn, he or she will roll
two dice. Each one represents how far their two characters will
move. One thing that many do not know is that you can move another
player’s pawn in order to move it towards a trap. If an exact roll
takes a pawn to a trap, the player must have the matching trap card
at that time in order to spring it.
During the game, you will notice that a portrait card is always
displayed in a picture frame; this is located directly above the
fireplace. The character in the portrait is the current favorite to
win (as mentioned above.) As you can imagine, this means that player
is a “marked man.”
Additionally, there is a detective outside the mansion during each
game of 13 Dead End Drive. He slowly moves closer and closer to the
door of the mansion as the game progresses. When he arrives, this
means that the will is going to be read. If your character’s picture is
in the picture frame at that time, you are the big winner.
There are three ways that you can win a game of 13 Dead End Drive.
1. When a card you hold is the last character alive or...
2. If one of your character cards is able to leave the mansion while their picture
is in the picture frame or...
3. When one of your character cards is the person in the picture
frame when the detective arrives at the door of 13 Dead End Drive.
