While card games are usually all good fun, this one has a catch.
Lose the Killer Clown’s card game and you’ll lose your head, too.
We inventoried every Nightmare Mode Neighbor so you don’t have to!
To meet the Killer Clown, you have towait until you’ve completed the Nightmare.
At the end of the round, the Killer Clown willcome up to your windowlike any other Neighbor would.
He will then ask you if you want to play a game.
you’ve got the option to choose eitheryes or no.
Youwon’t get killedfor selecting’No’and refusing the game.
Nor will you be penalized forcalling the D.D.Don the Killer Clown.
The Killer Clown will only explain the rules of the card gameonce.
At the beginning of the game, there is asingle cardon the table.
This is the card you need tomatch a cardto.
You willalternatewho places the first card each round.
you might only playone card gameper Nightmare Mode round.
So, if the card on the table is a six, you must place asix or higher.
You may also choose to play awildcard.
These cards canalwaysbe played, butany cardcan be played on top of them.
Think of them like a ‘choose a new color’ card in Uno.
You must drawuntilyou pull acard that you could use.
You canneverhave more than six cards.
There arebonus cardsthat the Killer Clown does not tell you about.
These cards can make your opponentdraw extra cardsto increase the size of their hand.
They can also be playedagainst you.
The first player to wintwo rounds winsthe game.
Your score will be shown on the right-hand side of the screen in a 0 - 0 format.
Theleft sideof the hyphen isyour scoreand the right side is the Killer Clown’s score.
If youwin, the clown will become upset, butwill not retaliate, as you won fair and square.
He’ll sulk for a little bit before running off.
The best way to potentially force the Killer Clown to draw more cards is toplay a bonus card.
These cards will have aplus signon them, followed by a number.
When played, they force the opposite player todraw that number of cards.
For instance, if you playa +1, the Killer Clownmust draw one cardbefore playing one.
Another way to give yourself a chance at forcing the Killer Clown to draw isafter he plays a wildcard.
The first thing you’re free to do isplay your lowest card.
This is advisable in thebeginning turnsof the game.
By playing your lowest card, you give yourself better odds of beating future cards.
The second thing you’re able to do isplay a high-value card.
This method is advisable at thelater stagesof the game.
Neither methodcomes with anyguaranteeof winning, but both do have their benefits.
If you say no to the Killer Clown, he will stand dejectedly in the window and not leave.
you’re free to call the D.D.D.
on the Killer Clown so long as youhave a phoneto call them with.
If you call the D.D.D.
on the Killer Clown, you will get one of the most interesting Doppelganger interactions in the game.
However gruesome the scene before you is, youwon’t get murderedby the clown.
He got all his murderous rage out on the D.D.D.
The Killer Clownwill then leave,and the game will be over.
Theonlyguaranteed ways to survive the Killer Clown are saying no to him or calling the D.D.D.on him.
There isno guaranteethat it’s possible for you to win his card game.
Vampires, Aliens, and Doppelgangers, oh my!
Here’s how to catch them all in Nightmare Mode.
