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!
Doktor Deck: She's always been intrigued with the prospect of
perfection, and believes a masterful Undead is the way to achieve
that!
She takes only the worst cases. She is so kind to take those that are
too poor to pay her fees. She only asks that you let others know of
her kindness. The Doktor knows that the townspeople really don't
understand the perfection she intends to create, so she must have the
utmost care with her ministrations. Her reputation has at least been
bolstered by her kindness to the less fortunate. The townspeople
don't care what she does with the unfortunates, after all. Already
one of the local sopranos is begging to get an audience with the
Doktor to cure a limp she's been hiding. The Doktor's plans will be
rewarded with new patrons and patients, as long as that imposter
doesn't intrude too quickly. There has been someone prowling the
docks at night, calling himself - of all things - the Lord of Bones.
He's been trying to encroach on her clinic's business with some
success. He doesn't understand the noble goals the Doktor pursues
and she will not tolerate his attempts at sabotage. Her minions are
growing and her research is progressing...
The Doktor is a fairly straightforward deck with high Victory
Conditions: she needs Trust 11 and enough undead minions that
their Value totals 30. She has help getting there, though. Alone of all
the characters, she can Heal opponent's minions - unlike Liberate or
Resurrect, she gains Trust from this play! The Doktor, knowing the
value of a strong lair for her experiments, also has Protect cards: as
long as just one of these is in her Reserve, no opponent can touch
her undead. Her weak point? She has less to interfere with
opponent's plans than other characters, so she can do less to stop
someone else from winning.
