Pyjamaparty

Whispers in the Moonshine

The little vampires play with snuggle spiders and blood orange juice, but when they shriek loudly because they encounter a garlic bulb Daddy Vampire comes up and all hurry into their beds. You roll the die: For dots you move your vampire along the carpets by as many steps; if the move ends on a carpet with other vampires there you approach one of the vampires with “shh” and pick up one face-down item from the floor board. The approached player turns up an item from the floor board. Now both players, in an low voice, make one of the pre-set noises that are meant to imitate a clash between spider and spider, glass and glass or glass and spider. If you were the only one to make the correct noise, you get both items; if both players were correct, each of them receives one item. If the die roll results in a garlic bulb, all scream “Garlic” and a garlic round is played: The garlic cards are turned up one by one; for each closed trap door all players move one carpet nearer to their beds, who reaches his bed jumps into it, and another card is turned up. If Daddy appears, all vampires in their beds are rewarded with an item, all vampires still out of bed must discard an item. If you own 8 items, you shout “horray” and another garlic turn is played – if you are in bed before Daddy appears you win.

Pyjamaparty is an enchanting game, the vampire theme is so lovely gruesome, very nicely just a bit gruesome, and the game itself a nice mixture of guessing, betting and a bit of memory for the spots where a glass or a spider is returned to. One is really enticed to play!
