Horrific is a card game - a character-based strategy card game in the
genre of classic horror. You use sneaking suspicion (instead of
blasting brutality) and oblique moves to explore open-ended
strategies, master your plans, and outwit your opponent...
Horrific features new and unusual mechanices, designed to evoke
the atmosphere of suspenseful horror. Every single move, even
discarding, affects everything else in the game. No move is a
throwaway!
Huati Deck: Those knowledgeable of Voodoo know the word for this
character. He uses Undead to terrorize those around him and to
consolidate his hold on any town!
Plans take time. Anyone can move in and just start trying to take
over. It takes a real artist to lay out a web for an opponent. The
Doktor would be the perfect scapegoat. She thinks she's gotten the
trust of the town and he attends this and that party. Meanwhile,
Huati bides his time. From the governor to the hermit, all come to
him regularly for advice, and that old fisherman by the wharf has
asked for powder to help aching joints. A little prick here, a few
undead seen there... Soon his charms, connections, and political
works will see him through. The Doktor thinks she is suave, but she
doesn't know how to play games like a real undead master.
Huati is one of the most difficult decks to learn, with the greatest
number of Victory Conditions to fulfill: an opponent's Trust has to be
12 or less, and Huati needs enough living minions that their Power
and Influence each total 12 along with enough undead minions that
their Value totals 12. However, Huati is also the only character who
can turn minions to undead without losing Trust, if he takes his time
(by playing a Zombie Powder from his Reserve). And the Voodoo
Doll - just a little prick (all opponents lose one Trust per turn as long
as one is in Huati's reserve), but it's enough to unsettle them each
time.
