What is Thicker Than Blood?

Thicker Than Blood a strategic and competitive card game of secrets, blackmail, and sibling rivalry, where players compete to be the last one standing and claim the family inheritance. It’s cutthroat. It’s chaotic. It’s wildly fun.
How many players can play?

The game plays best with 3 to 6 players. For the juiciest chaos, we recommend 4 or 5. That said, a team variant of the game can be played where teams of two players or more each play as one Sibling enabling 6+ players to play in a game.
How long does a game take?

A typical game lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of players and whether players are playing for the first time or not. We've found that the first game can take 60-90 minutes while subsequent games can end in about 30 minutes.
What is the age rating?

Recommended for ages 14+ due to themes of betrayal, blackmail, and mild psychological warfare.
