People Game Revised: We’re all heroes

After play testing our little game, we make a few revisions. Below is the game description with pictures that we played in class.

Blind Marvel

a people game by Archana Kumar, Elena Parker, Sarah Hallacher, and Michelle Boisson

DESCRIPTION

There are heroes and there are villains, and they hate each other. They’ve been spread out randomly in the town and each needs to help the Superhero and the Supervillain save them. The catch is that both Supers are blind and, naturally, want to kill each other. Also the regular heroes and villains are frozen and cannot move. They must use their voices to guide their blind saviors to them, while trapping their opponent.

RULES

Blind Marvel is a game played with a minimum of 8 people but can be scaled to up to any number of players.

Roles
Superhero (1 player)
Supervillain (1 player)
Heroes (1/2 rest of players)
Villains (1/2 rest of players)

Game Play
The Superhero and the Supervillain are blindfolded and cannot see where they are going. They move around the space trying to collect their teammates. If a Superhero touches a hero, the hero becomes unfrozen and joins the Superhero by directly following the Superhero. The hero cannot move on his own, only with the Superhero. Though the hero may continue to direct the Super with his voice. As the Superhero unfreezes more heroes the line behind him grows bigger.

If a Superhero tries to touch a villain instead of a hero, the villain then freezes the Superhero (and his team behind him) for 3 seconds.

All of this is also true for the Supervillain and the villains.

Line severing
Regular villains and heroes have the power to sever the opposing team’s lines. They do this with a karate chop motion over the line. If this happens, all the players from the back of the line to point where the chop happened, must return to their original place and are frozen again.

Winning
The first team to collect all their teammates wins.

Getting Started
A Superhero and a Supervillain are chosen at random and are blindfolded immediately.

Once the Supers are blinded, everyone else spreads out and are randomly assigned a role of villain or hero. You can use a deck of cards with an equal number of red and black cards, then hand them out. Or you can count off.
